- And if you're willing to maintain it yourself and don't need very high
- performance, there's a public domain NFS server called SOSS which runs
- on any DOS machine (ie not a Nlm) and exports its local/net disks as nfs.
-
- Not sure where it is nowadays - try asking an archie server. Haven't
- seen an update in years; i suspect it isn't supported any more. Works
- for me though, exporting DOS files on Novell to an Acorn Archimedes.
