- The theory is NFS is transport independant. I agree with Jeff that not too
- many customers that I know of at the moment want NFS over anything but
- TCP/IP. But customers have been known to ask (,or better yet, demand)
- strange things that are perfectly reasonable to them. NFS over ISO.
- NFS over whatever comes next. Why not. In a year, you may be flaming
- anyone who can't do it.
-
- If you are running USL-based SVR4 code, you should already be able to do it.
- It may not be easy or straight forward, but I believe the ability is there
- in the USL code.
