Try XFS. It works with Windows for workgroups and Trumpet winsock.
XFS:
ftp: lwfws1.uni-paderborn.de:/pub/xfs
(To be available May 1994)
XFS is a Network File System (NFS) Client implementation for
PC's running MS-DOS. It uses the network-wide file sharing
of other systems and provides in this way the enormous disk
resources of modern workstations. Because the file sharing
mechanism is tranparent, you can manipulate remote files by
traditional PC software like File Managers, Word Processors
etc.
XFS uses the Packet Driver (PKTDRVR) of your Ethernet
interface (please consult the appendix to optain a suitable
Packet Driver for your card). You also can use XFS with other
networking software like
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
- Microsoft LAN Manager
- Novell Netware IPX & ODI
XFS also provides its own built-in PKTDRVR multiplexer, which
allows the concurrent use of other software running over a
PKTDRVR, e.g. you can use NCSA-Telnet & FTP parallel to XFS.
PKTDRVR software for Microsoft Windows is supported too.
2. Registration
The XFS Network File System Client is distributed as
shareware. You can test this software as long you want, but if
you decide to work with it, you must pay the registration fee.
The Registration will include all updates for a one-year
period, but it's your responsability to get them. After this
time you have to renew your licence, but only if you want to
get new updates.
The current registration prices are:
Educational users: US $ 15 / CPU
Business users: US $ 25 / CPU
