Sun3 serving Sun1 question again...

Ok, once again:

I recall seeing all sorts of talk about problems with the nfsd of a sun
3 serving a sun 2.  Now I have that situation. (although the old timer
is a sun 100u instead of a sun 2) The sun 100u constantly has problems
timing out when getting files from the Sun3.  Someone posted
nfs / fstab configuration hints about this problem.  If some one would forward
these to me I would appreciate it immensely.  

You might suggest chucking out the sun 100u, it's 2 Mbyte memory & 71
Meg of disk, and do all our work on the sun 3 with 8 Meg & 380
Megabytes, but we have a $30,000 compiler licensed just for the old
machine, and our legal department is holding up a transfer of license, cause
they want to "investigate".

% /bin/time ada helloworld.a
	380.9 real  2.4 user    3.6 sys

Oh well...
