Easier said than done.  HP-UX 10.20 supposedly does NFS3, but it
sure won't do it with FreeBSD 3.2-R.  The only way I could get them
to be nice to each other was to drop back to NFS2, so for now it
looks like it's ftp for moving big files.  Fortunately this doesn't
happen often.  In the long run the HP systems are going away, so
that will solve that.  :-)
