	SOSS has been ported to NT and is available on cica.indiana.edu
in /pub/pc/win3/nt as sossntr3.zip.  SOSS is a freeware NFS server
implementation.  I haven't tried the NT version but have got the DOS
version to nfs mount dos directories on my FreeBSD machine.  It works
but is very slow and only does (dos version) rsize=wsize=1024.  I
would hope that the NT version would perform better but do not know.
