- Yes, it can and is being done. There have been a number of postings to the
- list mentioning the use of PC-NFS, although it does seem to be a minority
- interest. We just have one product (SilverPLATTER'S Medline Express on 4
- CDs) on a relatively small site network (ca 120 PCs attached), but it works
- fine so far. I don't know about Mac access but hope to try them out later
- this year.
