I think I now have it figured out. Desperation does wonderful things for the mind ... Michael Smith had told me previously about the abysmal performance of the 3C503 card that machine has, about some buffer incompatibility it has, and I think it's ibtten me now. I found disk space, tarred up what I wanted to transfer, and I sent it over that way, which worked like a charm. Means I can't get nfs mounting to work, but at least I can get what I want up, going along. > > Alfred Perlstein > perlsta@cs.sunyit.edu > > > I'm trying to do an NFS mount of a directory on a 3.0 machine onto another > > machine that's running 2.2.1, for the purpose of transferring /usr/src.
