Not sure about this stuff, but under the commercial UN*X implementation
(i.e. AIX), IBM has another product called distributed services which provides
some minimal NFS-like support. This product allows you, via an Ethernet/PC-Net
link between machines, to mount file systems resident on other machines. For
more info you are probably better off calling your IBM rep. If you are using
the ACIS UN*X, don't know.

Good luck...
