Using DECstations as servers to 386bsd clients works perfectly. However, I have not seen this problem with two 386bsd machines. I cross-nfs mount directories/filesystems all the time between my two 386bsd machines with no problems. As I stated above, I also have DECstations mounted at the same time. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael L.
