FreeBSD provides as much (if not more) support for the NFS protocol as Linux does. (ie. they both spoof it). If you're serious about making something happen, or you (like me) believe that your employer is a fool, then hop on the bandwagon behind Terry; offer to help test his code changes that relate to it & help agitate for its inclusion. I'm fairly sure that both the user-space and kernel-space changes to support it exist in at least an alpha stage. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
