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

I have sucessfully mounted two remote disks (on HP Bobcats at the
University), on my NeXT via dialupip. The response is adequate (i can
display or print dvi-files stored there, or copy moderately sized
files in a reasonable amount of time -- comparable to fetching them
in emacs with ange-ftp). 
Here is the result of my  nidump fstab .:
hardy{/src}[92> nidump fstab .
/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1 
golem:/ /Net nfs rw,bg,soft,net,intr,nosuid,noquota,retry=4,timeout=16,rsize=512,wsize=512 0 0 
lynx:/ /Net nfs rw,bg,soft,net,intr,nosuid,noquota,retry=4,timeout=16,rsize=512,wsize=512 0 0 

If you make a file  similar to tha last two lines and 
niload fstab . < filename
(asroot, of course), you should have no problem, provided the
/etc/exports on the "other" machines lists the machine-name of your
NeXT.
