----------------------------------------------------------------------



Section A. Basics

A-1.  What is NFS? 

Network File System (NFS) is file system that will mount remote file systems
across homogenous and heterogenous systems. NFS consists of a client and
server systems. An NFS server can export local directories for remote NFS
clients to use. NFS runs over IP using UDP (commonly). There are NFS
implementations that will work using TCP as the network transport service.
NFS was originally developed by Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. (SMCC) and
is now part of their Open Network Computing (ONC) initiative. NFS has been
accepted by the IETF in certain RFC's (see F-7) as a standard for file
services on TCP/IP networks on the Internet.  



A-2.  What is (PC)NFS? 

(PC)NFS is a generic term referring to all NFS systems running on IBM PC and
compatible systems as well as other Personal Computer systems as defined
upon by the X/Open Group. 



A-3a.  Where can I get TCP/IP and NFS for my DOS system? 

To use NFS you will need a TCP/IP stack first. The following are a list
of TCP/IP stacks and packages available for DOS systems.

You can get NFS clients for Macintosh from: 
	The Wollongong Group: PathWay NFS [Z-11]
	Intercon: NFS/Share [Z-9]

There are also packages for hardware gateways which will allow Macintosh
systems to NFS drive systems. Cayman systems puts out the GatorShare
software for their GatorBox and GatorStar series which gateway LocalTalk
based Macintosh systems onto an Ethernet and allow IP tunneling inside
Appletalk to reach external systems. GatorShare allows Macintoshs to mount
NFS disks as AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) volumes which are displayed as
remote drives on the Apple Chooser. Shiva & Fallaron have similar gateway
(DDP-IP) systems. 

IPT has a software only system that works in concert with one of the above
mentioned hardware systems that allow Unix systems to export disks as AFP
volumes. IPT's Partner is not in strict sense an NFS system. It implements
Appletalk on Unix systems and exports drives and printers as Appletalk ones.
CAP (Columbia Appletalk) is a public domain package which has similar
services. 

Work is currently in progress to produce a software based DDP-IP package
that will connect LocalTalk Macintoshes through a Mac system with both
LocalTalk & Ethernet interfaces to Ethernet based IP systems. Hopefully the
project will be completed before October. Initial prospects are to
distribute this as shareware.

A-4.  What is PC-NFS as opposed to (PC)NFS?

PC-NFS is a specific NFS product for PC systems from SunSelect. PC-NFS is a
registered trademark and so should NOT be used as a generic term describing
all NFS systems on PC's. (PC)NFS is a generic term describing NFS systems on
PC's as decided upon by the members of X/Open.



A-5. What is TCP/IP? 

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the main
transport protocol used on the Internet for connectivity and transmission of
data across heterogenous systems. It is an open standard which is available
on most Unix systems, VMS and other minicomputer systems, many mainframe &
supercomputing systems and some microcomputer & PC systems. 

TCP/IP is a software solution for network connectivity. There is little
assumption on the hardware system used for actual physical connections. The
most common hardware solution is Ethernet, but TCP/IP will also run on
Token-Ring, AT&T StarLAN, microwave & spread spectrum systems , LocalTalk
(needs a gateway), Serial lines (modems, serial connections) and other
systems as well. 

To run TCP/IP on a system you first need a hardware driver. On Macintosh
systems, the hardware drivers are built into the system or is provided by
the board manufacturer. On a PC system, there are different types of
hardware drivers available both commercially and via public domain/shareware
including the Packet driver specification by FTP Software, Inc., Microsoft's
Network Device Interface Specification (NDIS), & Novell's Open Datalink
Interface (ODI). Drivers for OS/2 systems are available from IBM and/or the
board manufacturer (if they support OS/2).  If a driver is not available for
your hardware, look for a shim. This is a software device which translates
between two driver specifications. There are shims for ODI-on-NDIS,
NDIS-on-Packet driver. ODI-on-Packet driver, etc.  usually publically
available. 

You then need a TCP/IP stack. This is package specific usually comes with
every product. Each such stack has its own requirements for hardware
drivers. you must find a combination of driver & TCP/IP stack which is
compatible with your hardware & system. Macintosh's do not have a problem
since most Macintosh systems use the MacTCP stack which is available from
Apple and is provided with most if not all Macintosh TCP/IP packages. PC
systems have something close to a standard in TCP applications called the
Windows Sockets API (Winsock). [Note: This is not specific only to TCP/IP it
is a general standard for networking on PC irrelevant of the transport
protocol. Hence, there may be versions for NetBEUI, IPX, etc.]. The Winsock
API is avaialble in 16 bit and 32 bit versions. The 32 bit versions are for
Windows NT systems. Winsock is implemented in Dynamically Loaded Libraries
or DLLs. Currently work is under way to develop a freeware Winsock DLL but
many commercial versions are available. 

With the TCP/IP stack in hand, you then need all the TCP/IP application
programs such as Telnet, FTP, mail, etc. Just about every TCP/IP package has
a corresponding set of applications although some do not provide all the
different applications available. 



A-6. What is Ethernet? 

Ethernet is one of the most popular network cabling schemes in use. The
original Ethernet specification was developed by Xerox. A second version
(Ethernet II) was made with the efforts of Digital Equipment Corp., Intel,
and Xerox. 

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standardized a
separate form of Ethernet which has come to be known by the standards
document number: IEEE 802.3.  

Both Ethernet II and IEEE 802.3 are compatible on the same wire so hardware
utilizing either can work in the same network. 

Both these standards also specify a hardware protocol which describes each
"frame" of data. 

Ethernet hardware use CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Detection) which is a fancy way of saying that only one machine on the
Ethernet can speak at any one time and if two or more try to do it at once,
"collisions" of frames occur and the machine has to resend the frame of data
at a later time. 

Ethernet is a hardware and Data link specification. Other software network
protocols run above this: IP, IPX, AppleTalk, NetBEUI, CLNP etc. In turn
other protocols can run over those: TCP & UDP over IP, SPX over IPX, etc. 

PCs and Macintoshes connect to an Ethernet via a Network Interface Card, a
card which fits into your machine's bus (eg. ISA for PCs, NuBus for Macs)
and require a network driver to function. 



A-7.  What is SLIP? 

Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) is a standard on the Internet for
serial line and modem connectivity between two systems. This allows any one
SLIP client to connect to a SLIP server to provide connectivity between
different IP hosts. Both systems must have TCP/IP stacks running. Certain
SLIP packages even allow the SLIP client to act as a gateway between a local
network and a remote network, ie. all machines on the local network can
connect automatically over the SLIP line to remote systems and vice versa.
SLIP packages are available for PC systems. See G-1. 



A-8.  What is PPP? 

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a direct link protocol which works over
serial lines and direct links similar to SLIP. Overall it gets more
throughput than SLIP. The remote host needs to accept PPP connections and
the local host should act as a client. 



A-9.  What is AppleTalk? 

Appletalk is a network protocol that Apple Computers Inc. created to
provide networking in Macintosh systems. It consists of hardware protocols
and software protocols although the term "Appletalk" usually refers to the
software protocols. The hardware protocols have their own names as well.
LocalTalk is the simplest and consists of direct connections between
Macintoshes with a cable. Appletalk can run over Ethernet and this form is
known as EtherTalk. There are others: FDDITalk, TokenTalk, etc. 

The Appletalk software protocols consist of DDP (Datagram Delivery
Protocol), NBP (Name Binding Protocol), RTMP (Routing Table Management
Protocol), ZIP (Zone Information Protocol), ATP (Appletalk Transaction
Protocol), etc. DDP is a common lower layer for many of the protocols and is
similar in respect to the IP layer. When most people say "Appletalk packets"
they usually mean DDP packets (which can also carry other Appletalk protocol
packets). 



A-10. What is telnet? What is ftp? 

Telnet & FTP are two TCP/IP applications for remote host access and remote
file transfer, respectively. Any host with a telnet client can connect to
any host with a telnet server. Any work done within a telnet session is
executed on the server host, thus for most intents and purposes your are on
the remote server, virtually. FTP clients can connect to FTP servers to
transfer files either direction. You can preserve the file contents
independent of the client and server hosts. 



A-11.  What is a client? What is a server? Why do I need them? 

A client application uses resources available on a remote site. This remote
site runs a server for this purpose. NFS is a client-server technology. You
need an NFS client to mount remote disks or directories. The server makes
these disks or directories available for other systems to use. For example,
If you have an NFS client on your PC, you can mount remote drives on your 
PC. However, if that PC does not have an NFS server, then you cannot make it
possible for other systems to use your local drive. 



A-12.  Where can I get (PC)NFS cheap/free/PD? 

There are currently no free or shareware NFS client packages
available. There are several projects in development but releases have not 
been announced. Also read A-13.

SOSS is a public domain NFS server available by FTP. 

There are, however, a few different TCP/IP packages available as shareware
and freeware such as WATTCP, <a href="SecZ.html#NCSA
Telnet">NCSA Telnet, CU/TCP, WinQVT (shareware). 



A-13. What is SOS & SOSS? Where can I get it? 

SOS (stan's own server) is the original NFS server developed by See-Mong Tan
and is a public domain nfs server. 

SOSS (son of stan's server) is a souped up version of SOS developed by Rich
Braun, et al with better performance capabilities. 

SOS is still available although it is advised that you use SOSS when
necessary. SOSS is available at the following site: 
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu 



A-14.  Are there any free NFS clients available for DOS? 

There was once a project at the Univ. of Maryland which made an NFS client
for free distribution but is now no longer available. 

There have also been reports that NCSA Telnet may come out with an NFS
client in the future but so far there hasn't been any further news on that.

There is a client being developed for the WATTCP package by Micheal Durkin.
This will be released as shareware ($15) in executable format only. Source
code may be available depending on the authors preference. 



A-15.  What is MacTCP? 

MacTCP is a Macintosh control panel item which allows TCP and UDP
applications to run on a Macintosh. MacTCP is developed by Apple Computers
Inc. and is sold for the price of $59 a copy. It is a defacto standard item
required for most Macintosh TCP/IP applications. It connects the application
program with the lower level extensions (drivers) and LAP (Link Access
Protocols) such as the Ethernet extension. The Localtalk LAP is already
built into the program. 

MacTCP implements all TCP/IP layers from TCP, UDP, to IP, ARP. The driver
level is separate.



A-16.  What is KIP?  

KIP stands for Kinetics-IP after the company that originally developed it
and has now been confused to mean almost all Appletalk-IP protocols. The
original KIP was used to tunnel the Appletalk protocols within TCP/IP (or
rather just IP). Now its also confused to mean IP running over Appletalk
systems which is correctly referred to as DDP-IP (see A-15). 

KIP is used to send AppleTalk protocols from one LocalTalk network through a
gateway over an IP network (or the Internet if need be) through another
gateway and finally to another LocalTalk network.



A-17.  What is DDP-IP? 

On Macintosh Localtalk networks, IP packets are sent over the Localtalk
lines within the Appletalk DDP protocol packets. For IP to work over
LocalTalk you must have an IPGATEWAY on your LocalTalk network which is
usually an independent piece of hardware which acts as a gateway passing IP
around the localTalk network and beyond (eg. onto an Ethernet). Some common
hardware systems are Cayman's Gatorbox and Shiva's FastPath units (~$2000/
unit).

Section B. Basics 



B-1. What are the different specification types of drivers available? 


The following are common specification types of drivers available:

Packet drivers - freely available set of drivers on the net maintained by
	ftp Software and also in part by Russell Nelson of Crynwyr.  

NDIS v2.0 & v3.0 - Network Device Interface Specification developed by
	Microsoft and 3Com. Version 2.0 is the current version for
	MS-Windows and Windows for Workgroups. Version 3.0 is the new
	specification for MS-Windows NT. 

ODI - Open Driver Interface developed by Novell, Inc.  

SLIP, PPP - These are more protocol specifications for serial and
	distance links. Both are defined in the Internet RFCs. PPP is
	described initially in RFC 1172 with related descriptions in 1331, 
	1332, 1333, 1334, 1376, 1377, 1378, and several newer ones. SLIP is 
	described in RFC 1055.  



B-3.  What are packet drivers? Where do I get them?


Packet drivers are the link between your Network interface card and your
TCP/IP protocol stack (of each application). They are a low level driver
specification with support for many different Network interface cards. 

The packet driver specification is maintained by FTP Software and is
available from:

   [Docs & executables]
   ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/msdos/pktdrvr/pktd11.zip   

   [Sources]
   ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/msdos/pktdrvr/pktd11a.zip
   ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/msdos/pktdrvr/pktd11b.zip


Russ Nelson of Crynwyr, Inc. (nelson@crynwyr.com) also maintains many packet
drivers. He also maintains the FAQ available for packet drivers
on comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc. This FAQ can be received by ftp from the
following sites: 
seagull.rtd.com:/pub/tcpip/other-faqs/pktdrv.faq  

Here's Russ' little scphiel on how to get the packet drivers. 



B-4.  Can I run packet drivers with (PC)NFS? 


Yes. See chart G-1 the list of packages capable of using packet 
drivers.  
	


B-5.  Can I run (PC)NFS over SLIP? 


Yes. See chart G-1 for availability in the different products for PC
systems. 

Macintosh systems can run NFS/Share from Intercon with the InterSLIP package
copyrighted & freely distributed by Intercon available from:
	ftp.intercon.com: InterCon/sales/InterSLIP1.0fc3.sea.hqx  

This will run with MacTCP 1.1.1. 



B-6.  Can (PC)NFS run with NDIS drivers?


Yes. See chart G-1 for availability in the different products.



B-7.  Can I run (PC)NFS at the same time as CUTCP or NCSA Telnet?


Yes. You need to run PKTMUX.EXE. This will multiplex connections between two
different applications using packet drivers. PKTMUX allows one to run
multiple TCP/IP protocol stacks.

There is also a version of CU/TCP which runs over SunSelect's PC-NFS and is
available via ftp from:
    ftp.york.ac.uk:/pub/pc/pc-nfs/cutcp/CUTCP.ZIP  



B-8.  Can (PC)NFS run with NDIS drivers?


Yes. Please look at chart G-1 for compatibility with different products.



B-9.  Can I use (PC)NFS to mount a diskless PC from a remote server?


Yes. The following products have this capability:
	PC-NFS
	PC/TCP
	BW-NFS
	AIR for Windows
	Piper/IP
	Lan WorkPlace

PC-NFS can be installed partially onto disk to access network applications
like telnet, ftp, etc. placed on a remote server.

PC/TCP also has PROM chips for ethernet cards for diskless PCs to boot with
network services.

In Europe, BOOTP PROMs are available from Dirk Keoppen [dirk@incom.de].
These PROMs support a large number of Ethernet cards and works with many
versions of (PC)NFS including that from SunSelect, FTP Software, Novell and
Microsoft LAN Manager.



B-10.  Can (PC)NFS run over token ring?

Yes. See chart G-1 for availability in the different products.



B-11.  Can I use my 3C509 Etherlink III card with (PC)NFS ?

Yes. The 3C509 has both NDIS and ODI drivers shipping with the box. Trouble is
some are not where they are supposed to be. The NDIS drivers are in the
following directory on the floppy : 

A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET

Also, a packet driver is obtainable for this card (also see B-1)



B-12 Can I PC-NFS SLIP at higher baud rates than 9600 ?


The built-in slip driver will not allow any higher speeds than 9600, but there
is a way around this. Instead of using SLIP.SYS, you can always configure
PC-NFS in packet driver mode (look for the PKTD.SYS shim) and use a shareware
slip driver than conforms to the packet driver specification. Ask archie
about SLIPPER.EXE or ETHERSL.COM.



B-13 Can I access an MSCDEX CD-ROM with PC-NFS ?


No, but you can fool your PC by using an 'MSCDEX simulator', i.e. a small
utility that will redirect the interrupt used by MSCDEX and return constant
values. Does not work will all the published CD's, but is worth the try.

Mounting an ISO9660 CDROM over NFS is not always sufficient to get full access
to the application residing on it. Some utilies refer to MSCDEX for various
reasons. So, can you use the NFS-mounted volume and still have full MSCDEX
access ? No, but you can fool your PC by using an 'MSCDEX simulator', i.e. a
small utility that will redirect the interrupt used by MSCDEX and return  
constant values. Does not work will all the published CD's, but is worth the 
try. These utils are obtainable from ftp.york.ac.uk (/pub/pc-nfs/CD-rom) 



B-14.  Can I run NDIS over Packet drivers? 


Yes. You can run packet drivers along with the DISPKT9.COM shim and run the
program as a generic NDIS driver. 



B-15.  Which is better NDIS or ODI? 


After a small discussion, it seems that ODI is generally faster and it does
not need be to loaded in the config.sys which helps enormously during
debugging and development). 

Both NDIS and ODI are widely available with most Ethernet cards and many
Token-Ring cards as well. 

ODI however has one slight problem when it comes to development. Although it
is an "open" specification and is available via ftp, Russel Nelson of
Crynwyr pointed out that: 

Message-ID: 
"
The documentation for Novell's driver development kit is available
from dev_docs/lan_drv.  This should not be mistaken for a
specification of an "open" interface.  If you want to write an "ODI
driver" (that is, the thing that adapter manufacturers ship), you
must purchase the Lan Driver Development Kit for $7,000.  When I
suggested to Novell that they should document the LSL  MLID
interface, they seemed somewhat bemused, as if to say "Whyever would
you want that?? -- just buy the DDK!"

Apparently, there *is* no "ODI driver" spec -- Novell doesn't even
have an internal document for the LSL  MLID interface.
"

You can FTP the NDIS specification from:
	vax.ftp.com  

You can FTP the ODI specification from:
	sjf-lwp.sjf.novell.com:/dev_docs/lan_drv/ 
	sjf-lwp.sjf.novell.com:/dev_docs/pstacks/
	[email to Dave Murphy dmurphy@novell.com]


B-16. *How can I connect a LocalTalk network to Macintoshes on the Ethernet?

Macintoshes on a LocalTalk network need a gateway to communicate with others
on an Ethernet. Macintoshes on Ethernet send Appletalk packets in Ethertalk
format (which is an IEEE 802.2 packet). These are picked up by the gateway
and sent over the localtalk to those machines as Localtalk packets. Most
gateways also have additional functionality; they can also send IP packets
or KIP packets. Cayman GatorBoxes and Shiva FastPath's are the two most
common ones.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Section C. Server



C-1.  What is pcnfsd? What is pcnfsdv2? What is BWNFSD?


PCNFSD is the server software run on remote systems for service access such
as User authorization and print services. PCNFSD is freely distributed. It
was originally designed for SunSelect's PC-NFS software package but has been
accepted by the X/Open committee as a semi-standard for (PC)NFS.

PCNFSDv2 is the current version of this server software.

BWNFSD is an alternate server package from Beame & Whiteside, Inc. which is
also freely distributable.



C-2.  Where can I get PCNFSD for my server system?


PCNFSD has been ported to many different platforms.  The following is a list

C-4.  How can I test NFS performance?


The following information does not contain information on LADDIS which is a
newer test suite for NFS systems. Please look at C-10 for information on
LADDIS. 

The following is a post from the archives from a while back which answers
this directly:

   As it turns out, there's a surprising amount of software floating around
that looks at NFS.  Such software includes:

	nfswatch -- curses-based promiscuous NFS monitor.  This program
		prints out a running tally of how many of each type of
		request comes in, and of which file systems are the most
		heavily used.  Nfswatch can be used to look at traffic to
		individual files, too.  This is anonymously FTPable from

	server_stat -- a NFS monitor program that runs on Encore Multimaxes.
		This shows information on hosts, users, and NFS request
		types performed.  This is capable of talking to a
		rpc.srvstatd process on another machine, though I don't know
		of other machines that support the Encore srvstatd program.

	nfsstone -- the Encore NFS benchmark, as presented in:

		Shein, B., Callahan, M., Woodbury, P., NFSSTONE: A Network
		File Server Performance Benchmark, Usenix Summer 1989
		conference proceedings, pp 269-275.

		This is a synthetic benchmark load, with an empirically-
		determined mix of operations.

	nhfsstone -- the Legato NFS benchmark.  This is also a synthetic
		load generator, based again on a particular observed
		load mix.  You can get this by sending mail like:

			To: request@legato.com
			Subject: send nhfsstone

			path path_back_to_me

		I had some problems getting this, though I was ultimately
		successful.

		a Sun-based packet spy that is capable of doing some
		characterization of NFS load and response times.  This is
		a commercial product.  For more information, contact:

			Hewlett Packard, Network Test Division
			One Tara Blvd., Suite 403, Nashua NH 03062
			(603) 888-7000
			
	LANWatch -- another packet spy, from FTP Software, Inc.  This can
		filter out NFS traffic; I don't know what can be done with
		the packets though once they're filtered out.  For more
		information, call FTP at (800) 282-4FTP, or send mail to
		info@ftp.com.

	[ There's lots of other packet spies, too, and I suspect that most
	of them can do at least a little bit with NFS packets. ]

   The problem with most of the programs above (except for the synthetic
loads, to which this just doesn't apply, since they're not NFS monitors) is
that you don't get raw data points which you can then analyze.  You get the
data that the authors thought you might want...  and which might not be what
you really want.  There's much to be said for the approach of dumping traces
and lots of timestamps into a file, then providing (a) programs that analyze
such files, and (b) the format of the files, so that people can write their
own analysis programs.  On a PC-based packet spy, this is a hard thing to
do.

   There's a fair number of people (at the major NFS server vendors, Sun,
DEC, and a few universities) who are also poking around at the problem.
Some people are looking at filesystem activity tracers, which (in addition
to being interesting research on its own) could provide still more reams of
interesting statistics when combined with a NFS tracer.

   The consensus was that the best way to trace NFS operations is to do so
via a promiscuous packet spy.  Such an approach has many advantages.  First,
if you don't have kernel sources, you can still get useful information.
Second, because you don't instrument the server kernel, you don't have to
worry about influencing the experiment in adverse ways.  However, there's
some chance (depending on your hardware and on how fast you make your
software go) that you'll drop packets.  The 'hack the server kernel'
approach won't drop any requests, but violates the above constraints.  I
suspect that the best way to gather statistics is by using *both* methods of
measurement, then comparing the results. 

   I was also referred (twice) to the SunOS 4.1 NFS implementation, and in
particular the adaptive NFS retransmission code therein.  These numbers might
be interesting to see, once 4.1 is more easily available.

   Of course, the usual Unix file access pattern (i.e., lots of short-lived
files in /tmp, most of which get written, then read once, then deleted)
information applies.  This was mentioned by several people; one reference
given was:

	Floyd, Rick, Short-Term File Reference Patterns in a UNIX Environment,
	    University of Rochester Department of Computer Science TR 177,
	    March 1986.

   Another good paper (with not much data on NFS, though) is:

	Lazowska et al, "File Access Performance of Diskless Workstations",
	    ACM TOCS, volume 4, number 3, August 1986, pp 238-268.
	
   Not a whole lot was said about general models of NFS access.  Most places
that had any models had derived them from some number of studies and from
the output of nfsstat, or so it seemed.  It does seem that there's a few
general trends, however.  There are some sites (including ours, I suspect)
that fall into the low-utilization, few write model, where the server rarely
satisfies more than one client's NFS requests in some given time slot.
There's also the high-utilization, many write model, which is what I'm sure
a lot of sites see.  One responder said that once one's clients have enough
memory, the buffer cache ends up reducing the number of random reads going
on, so one is left with the reads that happen to start up a new process, and
with writes.

   Those who talked about models generally said that they think there's
almost as many models as there are networks using NFS.  I suspect that this
is true, but that perhaps some useful information (or at least methods) can
be abstracted out, regardless.

   A number of people also suggested that I talk to Legato and to Auspex and
see what they've done in this area.  I have a couple of papers from Auspex;
at a first glance, I don't think they look too closely at NFS load
characterization (at least, not as I define that), but instead concentrate
on what Auspex did to get better speed out of their NFS file server.  The
Auspex paper titled, "Benchmark Methodology and Preliminary Performance
Specifications for the Auspex NS5000 Network Server" (Bruce Nelson, Auspex
TR #2, October 1989) has more load characterization information than do the
other Auspex TRs I have, but it still doesn't have a whole lot.  (By the
way, I'm not implying that Auspex hasn't looked at load characterization,
because they obviously have.  I just don't have the fine details of their
results.)  I also did some talking with people at Legato; their comments and
models show up in the nhfsstone benchmark, or are otherwise repeated above.

C-5.  What is NHFSSTONES? Where can I get it?


"Nhfsstone" (pronounced n-f-s-stone, the "h" is silent) is a
copyrighted product of Legato Systems, Incorporated and is provided for
unrestricted use and distribution of the binary program derived from
it.

nhfsstone is a NFS load generating program.  It is used on an NFS client
to generate an artificial load with a particular mix of NFS operations.
It reports the average response time of the server in milliseconds per
call and the load in calls per second.  The program adjusts its calling
patterns based on the client's kernel NFS statistics and the elapsed
time.  Load can be generated over a given time or number of NFS calls.
The current version of the program can only be compiled on 4.x BSD
based UNIX systems.

To obtain the nhfsstone source shar file, send email to
"request@Legato.COM" or {sun,uunet}!legato!request.  The Subject line
and/or body of the message should have contain the command line: 

	send unsupported nhfsstone 

Note the exact spelling of "nhfsstone".  To issue delivery, you should
also add a line of the form:

	path  </pre

where  is the preferred email address to use.  Generally,
using a domain-style email address works best.  A uucp path starting
with "sun!" or "uunet!" can also be used.

C-7.  How many nfsd's & biod's should I run on my server?


Default number of nfsd's & biod's is 8

Suggested Equation for nfsd's is:
	[number of disks exported] + [number of network interfaces]

Suggested maximum number of nfsd's runinng on a Sun system (SunOS 4.x)
without any accelerators is 22. Any more does not help in performance.



C-8.  What is asynchronous I/O? How can I modify my NFS server system to 
      asynchronous I/O?

Asynchronous I/O (ASYNC) means that information comes and leaves at unannounced
intervals whereas synchronous I/O (SYNC) has a predetermined interval when
I/O can actually pass.

NFS has been used both through SYNC and ASYNC communications. The original
specification stated that SYNC I/O should be used although did not bind to
it. This results in slower communications during transfers. ASYNC creates
problems in that, if for some reason communications should fail (eg., your
NFS server crashes), there may be inconsistency in the data. The bright side
of ASYNC is that performance increases by a great deal. 

Many implementations of NFS using asynchronous I/O are available. Despite
the disadvantage, the number of complaints about data loss due to this are
far fewer than the reports of performance increase. However, be warned that
asynchronous I/O is a direct violation of the NFS specification from X/Open
which states that all procedures of the NFS protocol are synchronous. This
makes such a server no longer compliant to X/Open. 

On a SunOS 4.1.x system you can modify the synchronous operation of NFS into
ASYNC by the following method: 

# adb -wk /vmunix /dev/mem << _EOC_
rfs_write+258W 0x96102000
_EOC_

To change it back to Sync operation: 

#adb -wk /vmunix /dec/mem << _EOC_
rfs_write+258W 0x96102004
_EOC_



C-9.  What is a good NFS server?


Network Appliances Corp have recently come out with a product which they
call an NFS appliance, the FAServer. It is a 486 based system with an EISA
bus, 16 MB RAM, 2 MB NVRAM, and a RAID subsystem. The RAID subsystem keeps
up to 20 logical copies of the entire file system. They have a proprietory
operating system which does only simple management and disk serving. 
The pricing is about $20,000. 



C-10.  What is LADDIS? 


LADDIS is multi-vendor and vendor neutral SPEC NFS Benchmack designed by
engineers from Leato, Auspex, Data General, DEC, Interphase and Sun [LADDIS
is an abbreviation using their first letters]. This covers local Ethernet or
FDDI nets and not WAN.

An excerpt from the LADDIS abstract: 
"
	The purpose of the LADDIS benchmark is to give users a credible and
	undisputed test of NFS performance, and to give vendors a publishable
	standard performance measure that customers can use for load planning,
	system configuration, and equipment buying decisions. Toward this end,
	the LADDIS benchmark is being adopted by SPEC (the System Performance
	Evaluation Cooperative, creators of SPECmarks) as the first member of
	SPEC's System-level File Server (SFS) benchmark suite."
"

LADDIS is available directly from SPEC. Here is the contact person:

	Name:	Dianne Dean (SPEC contact person at NCGA)

There is about a $1000 charge for the distribution tape.



C-11.  What is XRemote & LBX?


These are specifications for running the X11 windows system over lower
bandwidth connections like serial lines.

XRemote is a private specification developed by NCD. Inc. It is available in
commercial packages.
LBX (Low-Bandwidth X) is the specification also contributed by NCD to the
X11 standard forthcoming next year, ie. X11R6. You can get information on
LBX via FTP from:
	export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/LBX-xconf93-paper.ps.Z 

This is not a formal document only an informative disclosure.

Running a low bandwidth X protocol over something like Ethernet would not be
useful since the compression algorithms involved would incur additional CPU
usage and so you would not get much of a performance advantage at all.

D-4   Where can I get RWALL for my (PC)NFS system? 


As far as memory serves me there currently are no implementations of the
rwall command as in Sun ONC on (PC)NFS systems, except possibly one for
the Macintosh NFS/Share product from Intercon. 

Sorry folks. If anyone has information on this one please mail me, there are
people who want to know. 

Here is what Geoff Arnold had to say about it back in 1989: 
"
One of the questions I am often asked about PC-NFS is "how come
there's no way for me to find out when a particular file server
is going down? Unix users get notified." I point out that (at least
on SunOS) the mechanism used is "rwall", which is an RPC service, and that
for size reasons we can't afford to embed a version of rpc.rwalld in 
PC-NFS. This explanation is reasonable, but unsatisfactory. 

My reaction was to say "let's ask the NIC for a UDP port so that
we can use it to send unsolicited messages to PCs running PC-NFS."
That would certainly do the trick. However, a moment's thought
reveals that the problem is bigger than just PC-NFS. Surprisingly,
there is at present no simple ubiquitous message protocol to fulfil this
function. rwall is fine for SunOS and other ONC licensees, but
what about other systems? Do I have to rely upon SMTP? That's
incompatible with the idea of broadcasting a simple message
such as "The backbone will be down for five minutes at 12:00
to replace a bridge." 

This could be trivially simple or slightly more involved
(but still simple). The trivial approach is to dedicate
a UDP port for unsolicited system messages. Anyone could send one,
in a single datagram, and the listener process would be responsible
for delivering it as seemed appropriate for the system (dialog
box, console message, etc.) A more complete approach would be to
define a formal protocol so that it would be possible to convey
information about the coding of the message, message length (so that
TCP could be used instead) and so forth. [If the spec exceeds
one page, it's too complicated.]

Comments?

        or group information and has the format

                username/groupname list-of-drives/printdevices

        where list-of-drives/printdevices is either another username/
        groupname, or a network drive/printdevice: 
        
                (drive:,hostname:/path,/option,option..)
                or
                (printdevice:,hostname:printername,/option,option..)

        example:
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        all\
                (g:,calibra:/export/MSDOS/WinEnv)
        printer_staff\
                (lpt1:,pslw1:lw1,/fmt=raw)
        smith\
                all (f:,calibra:/export/MSDOS/DosEnv)\
                printer_staff
        ----------------------------------------------------------------

        When user smith executes autoconf.exe he mounts the following
        environment:

                g:      calibra:/export/MSDOS/WinEnv
                f:      calibra:/export/MSDOS/DosEnv
                lpt1:   pslw1:lw1       /fmt=raw

USAGE
        A known user has to be logged in, otherwise the program
        terminates. If the program is executed without any options
        the username is used as keyvalue. It is possible to give
        one or more keyvalues as argument of the program. These
        arguments can be either usernames or groupnames. By Default
	the program unmounts a drive before mounting a new drive on the
        same device. The argument /n or /nounmount switches this 
        option off. The argument /h or /help prints out a help screen
        and terminates the program. There will be no mount or unmount
        command.

        example with the same auto.config as above:

                autoconf printer_staff /n 
                or 
                autoconf /nounmount printer_staff

        These equivalent commands try to mount:

                lpt1:   pslw1:lw1       /fmt=raw

        There will be no unmount command and if there is already
        a network device on lpt1: there are no changes made.

Section E: Problems & General Q&A 



E-2.  Can I use DNS instead of NIS with PC-NFS?

No. PC-NFS currently only supports the Sun ONC NIS product. (Even NIS+ is
not fully compatible).

DNS is available with other packages.



E-3.  Why do versions of (PC)NFS not follow symbolic links?


This is because according to the NFS definition, filenames are handled by
the NFS client. In some (PC)NFS if the files in the symbolic links may not
be in the same exported directory as the directory the link is in. NFS
mounted files appear as drives on the clients and the clients cannot parse
any files which appear higher up on the tree or on a different tree segment
than that of the NFS exported drive (from the server).

Certain versions can be clever enough to counter this problem by their own
methods but it is generally accepted that (PC)NFS systems do not support
symbolically linked files.



E-4.  PC-NFS v4.0 has trouble with Cntl-S, Cntl-Q. 


This has been fixed in release 4.0a and 5.0. For 4.0a please look at the ftp
sites [H-5]



E-5.  PC-NFS v4.0 has trouble with redrawing windows.


This has been fixed in release 4.0a and 5.0. For 4.0a please look at the ftp
sites [H-5]



E-6.   PC-NFS v4.0 doesn't allow me to access the local printer when I have
       network printers. 


This is because the default setup for printers in PC-NFS v4.0 is as a
network printer. In the print manager choose the printer and change the
setup. At the bottom of the setup screen for the printer should be a
checkbox indicating that it is a network printer. Uncheck this box.



E-7.  I cannot delete any file that PC-NFS makes with a ~ (tilde) in it.


To get rid of the problem, in your config.sys, run pcnfs.sys as:

C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /c^

where c reassign the immediately following character. [In this case to the
character '^'] 



E-8.  PC-NFS says that it cannot open any more files even when the limit in
      autoexec.bat is set higher. 


PC-NFS uses its open own file limit and not the DOS system open file limit. To
modify this limit use the /f flag as such in the config.sys:

C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /f50

The limit here is set to 50. The maximum is 64.



E-9.  Can (PC)NFS mount file systems which are bigger than 2 GB?


Most server file systems do not handle such large file systems, but this is
possible with various software enhancements like Disk-Suite for Sun systems.

NFS clients on the other need not know how big the actual remote file system
is. It only receives information on how big the individual files are and not
the file system itself.

The Network Appliance server has one partition under which all drives can be
mounted for NFS exportation.



E-10.  What is NFS/TCP? Will it work with my NFS product?


NFS/TCP is a different type of the original NFS protocol which uses the TCP
protocol as opposed to the originally specified UDP protocol. NFS over UDP
works well over a single LAN but is as not suitable for multiple LANs or
WANs as NFS/TCP. TCP's windowing of packets capability and reliability gives
it an advantage. In UDP dropped packets are not acknowledged between the two
hosts, however, TCP retransmits all dropped packets. One more aspect of TCP
(which is more idealistic than real) is the congestion control capacity
between routers for TCP which prevents overflooding of a congested network
link. In NFS/UDP it is easy to create UDP data which look like NFS requests
from other machines. However, TCP makes it much more difficult to add
falsified packets which impersonate another machines data.

The problem with NFS/TCP is that it is incompatible with NFS/UDP. Therefore
all servers running the TCP version will be invisible to clients running a
UDP version and vice versa.

NFS/TCP is available in PC/TCP and BWNFS.



E-11.  What is PKTD.SYS? Where can I get it?


PKTD.SYS is a shim that allows PC-NFS to use packet drivers instead of its
native drivers. It is available from:
	bcm.tmc.edu
	src.doc.ic.ac.uk
	ftpserver.massey.ac.nz
	ftp.york.ac.uk:/pub/pc-nfs/pktd/pktd.zip

The current version is 5.0.



E-12.  How can I run Netware 3.xx at the same time as (PC)NFS using NDIS?


You can run the NDIS-over-ODI shim available from Novell that will let you
run netware at the same time as any other product running NDIS (ie. many
(PC)NFS products.



E-14.  Is it possible to modify the read & write buffer sizes in (PC)NFS?


Different (PC)NFS systems have different sizes with default at 1024 Kbytes
for both.  The standard maximum is 8 KB.

In PC-NFS, read buffer size is fixed (1024KB) but you can modify the write
size to any thing below this maximum. Currently anything less than 128 bytes
is cached into a 256 byte datagram. Anything more than this is passed as its
specific size.

PC/TCP, PathWay Client NFS & BWNFS allow modification of read & write buffer
sizes.



E-15.  How can I install an Ethernet board not supported by (PC)NFS?


Contributed by Farid Rahmi:

If you're installing on an IBM PC or compatible, you can use NDIS drivers in
general for your Ethernet board. 

Although I only upgraded to 5.0 after installing a beta version of 5.0
on my 3C509 PC, the procedure should still be the same :


1) Get the NDIS driver, the PROTOCOL.INI and the .NIF file from the LANMAN
   directory off the floppy that shipped with the 3C509 and copy these three
   files onto your harddisk (*NOT* in C:\LANMAN !!!, see below)

2) Select NDIS during installation.

3) This should wake up QUIKNDIS, which will transform PROTOCOL.INI for you
   and put it in C:\LANMAN together with the NDIS driver.

Three remarks :

- If you have an EISA machine and an ISA 3C509, please RTFM before complaining
  about lockups.

- I noticed that QUIKNDIS would scratch (make zero byte file) the NDIS driver
  if placed into C:\LANMAN. As mentioned, this was in the beta release.

- Too bad SunSelect couldn't ship the drivers with 5.0. Seen most of the other
  vendors ship these drivers and they are publicly available (ftp.3com.com)...


Farid (fr@sunbim.be)



E-16.  In postscript files I sometimes get a ^D before the header from my programs. How do I get rid of it?


This happens mostly on PC systems sending output to postscript printers. 
The ^D is the EOF character and sometimes causes a blank page to be output
by the printer before the print job. It can be disabled by the following: 

In your WIN.INI file, add below [yourprintername, port] this line:

CTLD=0

If you wish to do this permenantly for all windows systems, you can
reprogram your printer with the following piece of Postscript code (Thanks
to Mark Fleming of Queen's Univ.). Send this as a file to your printer:

%!
%%Title: CTRL-D serial EOF (End-of-File) character fixed
%%Creator: R. Mark Fleming
%%+ Queen's University at Kingston
% Check if EOF is installed, if not install it
% assumes serverloop password is the default one
currentdict     % Get current dictionary
(\004) cvn known
{       % Check if CTRL-D defined in this dictionary 
        (%% CTRL-D  procedure already installed\n %%) print
} {
        (%% CTRL-D procedure not installed!\n %%) print
        % Define IBMpc (serial) EOF character to do nothing
        serverdict  begin
        0 exitserver    % Make permanent changes
        (\004) cvn 
        {} def  % To ignore ^D at the end of prologs.
  } ifelse
%%EOF



E-17. *On the server, how do I get rid of TCP connections which say that they are CLOSING but never do (without a reboot)? 


This can be fixed on SunOS 4.1.x systems with the following code:

#! /bin/sh
for i in `netstat -A | grep CLOSING | awk '{ print $1 }'`; do
	echo "Closing $i";
	adb -w /vmunix /dev/kmem <<EOF
	$i+8/w 0
	\$q
EOF
	echo "$i will close in a couple of minutes";
done

Thanks go to Lars-Gunnar Olsson .



E-18. *How do I set up IP connections over a LocalTalk network? How do I connect a LocalTalk network to an Ethernet?


Unfortunately for Macintosh LocalTalk networks to run MacTCP or any TCP/IP
applications, you must have a unit which registers itself on the network as
an IPGATEWAY. Most such units are complete hardware gateways such as the
Cayman GatorBox or Shiva FastPath. These units also can route connections
to an Ethernet system as well.
[Also see A-15, A-16, & A-17]



E-19.  Do I set Daylight savings time in Europe?

Europe is in fact on Daylight savings time, so set your system as this.  

 

E-20.  Is there a Winsock interface for LAN WorkPlace?

You need to get Novell's update from their NetWire bbs or FTP it from
the following site: 
   ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/netwire/volume2/lanwp168.zip  

You can also further information on Novell's Web server:

Section F: Programming



F-1.  Is there a toolkit for (PC)NFS programming? Where can I get it? 


Until recently, programming toolkits were developed independently by vendors
alongside their products. Due to the efforts of different persons and
organizations there is a formal definition of MS-Windows in the Windows
Sockets API. The current version is 1.1. This is only a standard and product
vendors are allowed to distribute their own programming toolkit. Most are
now developing or selling Windoes Sockets API compatible toolkits. Please
refer to the chart G-1 for products with Windows Sockets API. 

Certain libaries for mounting drivers and user authentication with PC-NFS
5.0 are available on 
	ftp.york.ac.uk:/pub/pc-nfs/dnet/DNET50.tar  




F-2.  What is Windows Sockets (winsock)? Where can I get it?


Windows Sockets is an API developed by a group of NFS vendors as a standard
for future network based communications in MS-Windows. The current version
of the API is 1.1. Further information for this is available on request.
Mail all questions and comments to "winsock@microdyne.com". To join the
mailing list, mail to "winsock-request@microdyne.com". Windows Sockets API
documentation and related documents are available by ftp to: 
 microdyne.com: /pub/winsock  
 sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/winsock-1.1/winsock.ps  
       [Mirror site of the above address and much faster and up 24 hrs]  
 ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/wsguide.ps   
	[This is a brief introduction to Winsock]  

Peter Tatham (developer of the Trumpet newsreader) has developed a release
of winsock.dll which uses a packet driver as the network driver. Its 
currently available from ftp.utas.edu.au:/pub/trumpet/winsock/winsock.zip. 
There is a built in slip interface as well.  This is still in alpha release
but is already being used all around and applauded much. Thanks Peter.

A C++ class library for Winsock is available from the following site:
	ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/ibmpc/winsock/packages/cwinsock.zip 

As a side note: 

The DLL labelled wsock32.dll for Windows 3.1 systems is a Win32s API
compatible library. This came with the Win32 SDK. This maps the 32-bit calls
onto 16-bit implementations of winsock.dll.

In Windows NT, the wsock32.dll is a full 32-bit implementation and does not
map onto 16-bit applications (for 16-bit, there is a separate winsock.dll)




F-3.  What is the latest version of the NFS protocol?


The current official version of the NFS protocol is version 3. It has just
recently come out and is being tested at this years Connectathon.

A Postscript file is available from: 
	ftp.uu.net:/networking/ip/nfs/NFS3.spec.ps.Z
	bcm.tmc.edu:/nfs/nfsv3.ps.Z
	gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/standards/nfs/nfsv3.ps.Z

All comments and questions should be mailed to: nfs3@eng.sun.com



F-4.  What is new in version 3 of the NFS protocol? 


New features of version 3 are:
 64bit support
 exclusive creates,
 asynchronous writes (I guess its official now Vernon)
 improved attribute caching
 the "ACCESS" command works on the server attributes as well
 relaxed transfer size restrictions.
 reduced required "GETATTR" operations.

More information to come later.



F-5.  What is the current RPC version? Where can I get it?


The current version of RPC is 4.0.  It is available at the ftp sites:
	bcm.tmc.edu
	src.doc.ic.ac.nz
	ftpserver.massey.ac.nz

There is a version 4.0 which works with WATTCP which is available from
	polyslo.calpoly.edu:/pub/mdurkin/rpc01a.zip  



F-6.  Where can I get the XDR/RPC definition for PCNFSD? 


The .x file in the current source kit is available by FTP from:
       bcm.tmc.edu
       src.doc.ic.ac.uk
       ftpserver.massey.ac.nz
       sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/gen/spry-rpc.zip



F-7.  What RFC's describe the NFS protocol? Where can I get these RFC's?


RFC's (Requests for Comments) are standards approved by the IETF (Internet
Engineering Task Force) which maintain order on protocols and information
technology affecting on the Internet. There are about 1500 or more Internet
RFC's and many more drafts & proposals. They can be FTP'd from here.

There are three RFC's currently related to the NFS protocol:

RFC 1094 - NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification
RFC 1057 - RPC: Remote Procedire Call Specification Version 2 
		[supercedes RFC 1050]
RFC 1014 - XDR: External Data Representation Standard

These RFC's are available by ftp from: 
	ftp.internic.net:/rfc/
        NIC.DDN.MIL
	seagull.rtd.com: /pub/tcpip/papers

or by mail server from:
	SERVICE@NIC.DDM.MIL
	with subject "HELP"
	or retrieve with "RFC index"



F-8.  How can I tell if a program is NFS mounted?


Here's a message which discusses C code and methods of doing this:

In article  mdash@usl.com (-candee-+Scheer M.D.)
writes: 
>By happy (?) coincidence, both NFS (at least implementations based closely
>on the Sun reference port) and RFS assume that (1) local file systems have
>major device numbers where the high bit is off, and (2) the client is
>therefore free to play in the namespace of devs with the high bit on.
>Clients of both types synthesize devs with the high bit on.  I'm aware of
>no environment that breaks assumption (1).

We're aware of several.  We've been down that route and abandoned it
several years ago.  While this is true of faithful SVRx (where I'm not
sure whether "x" includes any 4) ports with RFS, it breaks on many other
machines.  Including SunOS, which uses a major number that is determined
at driver configuration time to denote NFS mounted files.  If I recall
correctly, out-of-the-box, the magic major number is 20 on SunOS, but may
change on reconfig.  Other machines where I'm fairly sure that the highbit
kludge doesn't work are Pyramid DCOSX, AIX3.  It's been a while...

If I have to, I could confirm and expand the list by pawing thru
our SCCS history databases.  Please don't make me - it's scary in there ;-)

Furthermore, st_dev will not change between different NFS mounts.
Thus st_dev:st_ino cannot be unique.

If you're on a SVR3'ish port, there is a macro in sys/types.h (or param.h)
analogous to major() and minor().  I seem to recall it is called "bmajor()".
If you're on a system that has bmajor(), you can use it - I remember it
masking off the upper bit of a major number.  So you can say:

	if (major(x.st_dev) != bmajor(x.st_dev))
		file is remote
		
If it doesn't, you have to experiment and keep your fingers crossed.

I hate to say this, but there is no easy way to do this universally.
We ended up having to read the mount tables and match path prefixes.
Yuck.  #defines up the wazzoo.

I suggest you start reading about getmntent() and analogues, and parse
the file system type fields.  If performance isn't particularly critical,
it may be easier to popen /etc/mount and parse the output:

    f = popen("/etc/mount", "r");
    while(fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), f)) {
	...
    }
    pclose(f);

If you use getmntent() (or /etc/mount kludge), and get a reasonable stat()
st_ino value for each file, you can use a "mount number":st_ino as a unique
key.  But you cannot guarantee that a single file has only one
key (multiple NFS mounts of a directory heirarchy).

You may also have to resolve symlinks depending on how your application
works.  This isn't a lot of fun either.

If you merely have to determine whether the occasional file is
remote or not, just "df " it, and parse the output.
Grotty, effective, reasonably portable, and *usually* reliable.
But we know systems that can't even get this right...

[On HPUX, use "bdf" not "df" ;-)]

F-9.  What is APP2SOCK?


Spry [Z-1] has a programming library called APP2SOCK which 
is an API set which maps onto different socket libraries notably Winsock 1.1, 
Novell's WLIBSOCK (with Lan WorkPlace), and SunSelect's TKLIB (with PC-NFS). It
simplifies programming for different libraries and has only 19 calls. It is
freely available from Spry, Inc. :

ftp.spry.com:/vendors/spry/app2sock/{app2sock.dll,app2sock.lib,app2sock.h,app2doc.zip, app2txt.zip}  

Spry, who brought you AIR Mail and AIR for Windows is trying to leverage
this as an open standard.



F-10. *Which DOS call will give a list of mounted file systems?


This came up a short while ago and Geoff replied:

Use the DOS GetRedirectionListEntry call (Int21H, Function 5FH, Subfunction
02H). PC-NFS supports this call, but not Subfunction 03H
(SetRedirectionListEntry).] 

Refer to the DOS Technical Reference or any good DOS programmer's
reference book for details on how to invoke this function. Note that
you must call the function repeatedly (with BX=0, 1, 2, etc.) until AX
is returned as 12H (no more files), and you should ignore any entry for
which AX is not equal to 0.

Note also that if you simply want to determine whether a drive is local
or remote, you can simply use Int21H Function 44H Subfunction 09H,
which is much quicker.  (There is at least one major app which uses a
sequence of GetRedirectionListEntry calls purely to check whether a
drive is local or remote....)

Notes: (1) IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 can also use Frame Relay.
       (2) The specifications are for Trumpet Winsock/TCPMAN
       (3) requires a winsock.dll 
       (4) PC/TCP also supports the IBM ASI and VINES native drivers
           It also supports the DEC Pathworks DLL, IPX over IP and IP
           with VINES encapsulation
       (5) coming soon in next version

Notes: (1) IBM TCP/IP for DOS' NFS and NetBIOS options will not 
           interoperate with Windows for Workgroups 
       (2) WinQVT will need the ODIPKT shim or use WinQVT/Winsock
           version
       (3) WinQVT will need the DISPKT shim or use WinQVT/Winsock
           version
      (10) BW-TCP & BW-NFS also support the 3Com 3+ and 3+Open as 
           well as DEC Pathworks.
      (11) Lanera TCP/Open can coexist with InvisibleLAN as well.
      (12) TCP Connect II for Windows also supports DCA 10NET
      (13) PC/TCP also supports DCA 10Net, 3Com 3+Open and LANsmart.

G-4.  Terminal emulations and Remote Connectivity capabilities of products.


Notes: The VT emulations are the commonly available emulations on most
       terminals. The tk4010 is the Tektronix graphics terminal emulation
       mode. INT14 is an redirector which will use an external interface
       such as Procomm to handle all the output.

Size	      : 212 KB 

Features      : Simple to use--Files from the remote systems take on the 
		familiar format of the Mac documents you always use. There 
		are no new operating procedures or software systems to
		learn. Certain text files, such as UNIX, are accessible 
		from any Macintosh editor or word processor.

		Macintosh resident--Once you have the physical link to the 
		network and NFS/Share, you need nothing other than access 
		to NFS servers on the network. NFS/Share works with
		Macintosh computers and is completely System 7.0 compatible.

		Access multiple remote machines easily--Just go through Apple's 
		Chooser and you are there. A list of available servers or
		remote systems appears in a pop-up window. You can access
		several remote machines at the same time, and, just like
		your hard drive, they appear as icons on your desktop.

		Apple standard--NFS/Share uses Apple's defined standards 
		(AppleSingle or AppleDouble) for representing files for
		foreign file systems.

		Simultaneous access--Multiple users can easily access the same 
		information at the same time without the need for different
		mounting points.

		Security maintained--User authentication is done through Sun 
		Microsystems' NIS (Yellow Pages), PCNFSD, or BWNFSD. Each
		user is presented with lists of access or mounting points
		automatically.

        The Programmers Toolkit provides the standard X Window
        System application programming interfaces (APIs) from MIT
        Consortium that enable useres to create X Window System
        applications for OS/2 ro to port X Window applications from other
        platforms.  The X Window System Client Programmers Toolkit

        Programmers Toolkit provides the standard OSF/Motif widgets
        and header files that enable users to create OSF/Motif applications
        on OS/2.  The OSF/Motif Kit requires the Xwindow Client Kit and
        the Progrmmers Toolkit.

        This is a new kit.

     -----------------------------------------------------------------------
       Applications Kit:
        Provides the TCP/IP for OS/2 applications included in the Base Kit
