NFS is running on the BSD machine but every time NFS for Win95 is, from everything I understand, a commercial product which costs money. You need to buy it. There is a much cheaper solution, however, and that's to simply run samba on the FreeBSD box and export its filesystems in a way that Windows already understands. See the samba port/package for more details. -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
