We have Sun's PC-NFS version 1.0 here.  It is a partial implementation
of NFS in that it allows PCs to act as clients only, that is, PCs may
use network resources such as printers and disks, but they may not
offer their own resources to be shared.  You may also remote-login
to hosts that support telnet.

Although we don't have it, I understand that version 2.0 has FTP
support so that you can transfer files to/from non-NFS hosts.

Quantity 1-4 prices are:

Software only:						$325
Software and manuals:					$395
Software, manuals, and 3com 3C501 ethernet card:	$995

Contact your local Sun rep for more details.  Educational
discounts are available.
