Their workbook says AIX NFS is only supported over Token-Ring and Ethernet. The instructor says he knows of no reason why it should not work with a serial link. Who is right? Is there anyone out there who has USED AIX NFS over a serial line? If it won't work, why not? (Yes, I know it will be slow, but I really plan to use it for file downloading. I have another machine that is my primary machine, where I will be able to use Token-Ring, and I want my machines to have a consistent interface to the data.) Also, there are about 25 IBMers in this class. They run about 2 sessions a month. They may not have a solid base of experience in TCP/IP (which is a pain) but they seem to have a commitment training their staff in it. -- Kevin Kleinfelter @ Management Science America, Inc (404) 239-2347 gatech!nanovx!msa3b!kevin
