	In playing with various configurations for running windows on top of
	Sun's PC-NFS I can either get windows to hang the machine at startup
	or when I attempt to access a network drive.  The problem would
	appear to be hardware specific as it has not manifested itself on 
	other dos box's running the same software on the same network.

	Has anyone developed a script that would allow a (relatively) trouble
	free installation of Windows 3 with PC-NFS.  Any documented experiences
	forwarded to me would be greatly appreciated.

	I believe that there is a recent release of PC-NFS that is meant to be
	more windows aware, (3.5?).  It is not currently available in oz.  Does
	it make this combination less painful?  Any feedback on this product
	would also be appreciated.

	Useful replies, if any, will be compostited in a future news artical.

	Thanks in advance   ... daavid
