So what do you think of Hummingbird's Maestro NFS client (and server) for
Windows NT?  The sales material says it's a "multithreaded kernel mode
NFS".  It also comes with a bunch of generic Internet apps (telnet, FTP,
etc..).

Soon we will be planning to buy an UltraSPARC Enterprise Server for a
satellite data collection system, and we also need to support about a
dozen Windows NT boxes for typical office applications. Would it be better
to run something like Hummingbird Maestro on them, or put a Netware or
SAMBA fileserver on the UltraSPARC?  Since the UltraSPARC will have
redundant CPU's and a giant RAID array anyway, I'd feel more comfortable
putting ALL of our data in the same place, where it can be backed up from
the same tape drive, and protected by the same RAID, rather than buying a
separate Windows NT server box.  Right?
