I am under the strong impression that you can't get there from here, when 
"here" is Xenix and "there" is NFS. My info is over a year old, but I was 
told that I had to upgrade so many things such as BSD sockets that I ended 
up with Unix -- i.e. I had to upgrade to SCO Unix in order to have NFS. I'm 
currently using Recal/Interlan's NP621-386 TCP/IP package. My dealer may not 
be the sharpest in this area, but my repeated inquiries in this subject have 
not turned up anything to change the basic premises of what I jsut told you. 
If you hear anything majorly different, I, too, would like to know :-)
