That would certainly do the trick, if it works;
Can you tell me what is the _newest_ version of DOS that you've been
able to run this on? Like I said, all of ours are DOS7, and I suspect
that to be part of my problem with getting the Novell client to work.
I've had good luck in the past with getting DOS 6.22 and Win95 _with_
the GUI to use Novell clients, but for some reason DOS7 wants to barf,
at least on our boxen.
Also, if you don't mind, what's the price of admission on PC-NFS? Is
there a GPL-like version, or am I going to have to write a big check to
Sun?
