Install SAMBA on your FBSD server. It's in the ports, it's free, it works like a charm, it's way more efficient than going the NFS way between Unix and PC client, it needs no extra software on the W95 system (since it implements Microsoft's SMB file sharing protocol). SAMBA is good for you ! _Alain_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) 1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) 1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.
