Hi all,

I was trying to get a SLIP link running (with Louis's DialUp-IP), and
that all went successfully. 

I was able to ping and ftp between computers over the serial link,  but I
was unable to nfs mount one filesystem to another.

I expected this to be quite slow, but when I tried to mount, the client
computer (the one I executed the mount command on) just hung. The
server ran fine, but no packets seemed to be coming across. I could
still ping the (hung) client from the server, so it was not completely
dead. The client was 3.0PR2, the server was 2.1.

I am guessing I just have to set some timeouts to unreasonably high
values. 

Has anyone nfs mounted over SLIP, and if so, could you share you mount
command?? 

Thanks in advance,

John
