I believe there are some nfs-patches in the patchkit, although I'm not sure wether they apply to your problem. I would say this is a dos problem, were it not that it seems to work allright under SCO. By the way, I'm using pcnfs 3.5 with a packetdriver and a ne2000 card, and patchkit 0.2.2 Marc van Kempen.
