- A very cool implementation is available with a product called
- NFS/Share from InterCon. It is VERY easy to set up and works
- just as you would expect it to (imagine that). It works with
- both 6.0.x and 7.0.x systems (supports 7.0 aliases too).
-
- One the Mac, the result is an AppleShare type icon that you can
- interact with.

- InterCon also has some other utilities that make life easy with
- things like ftp and telnet as well.

- I'm sorry if this comes over as a sales pitch for InterCon, but
- I have found few products in this category that work as
- advertised.
