- Works OK, depending on what you want to do with it. If you want to use
- the VAX as a big file server, it's fine. If you're using it as a
- compatibility tool so that people with different platforms (Mac, Unix,
- DOS, VMS) can share information across NFS volumes,
- you've got big problems. Try reading my review of the two NFS clients
- (Intercon and Wollongong) in the Digital News from July 6.
-
- Compatibility-wise (i.e., does it work and how fast), Intercon is more
- compatible, but Wollongong is faster.
