I'm currently running 386BSD on my Olivetti M380 and I am generally happy
with it.  Thank Bill & Lynne.

However, there is one annoying problem with NFS.  NFS hangs when reading
or writing a large file using NFS, this makes life difficult as I dont
have the space available to experience the torments of X.

I have already reduced the NFS read & write buffers originally to 4K and
now down to 1K without any significant difference.

Has anybody got any ideas?

Cheers,
   Adrian
