The only network file system that I have seen running on the Sun worked
by replacing the standard disk driver with a driver that read from a
remote disk across the Ethernet.  This approach will not work on a file
system (like /usr/spool/news) which is subject to modification.  In order
to run vnews across a network you need something like the Newcastle
Connection, which intercepts system calls and sends them over the network.
