- I can't claim to be an expert here, but the fundamental issue is that
- PC-NFS contains an IP protocol stack to do tcp/ip things and LWP4DOS also
- contains an IP stack to do tcp/ip things. So you sort of have dualing
- protocol stacks even if you figure out how to share the card between the
- two products. You can get a NFS module for LWP4DOS from both Novell and
- Beame & Whiteside, and then you can choose between PC-NFS and LWP4DOS based
- on which product you like better, they should then both do basically the
- same kind of things and you will only need one of them.
