Steve,
Been there, looked for a free NFS client, found none, bought X-Link
NFS/95, found out that it is the crappiest piece of software I had seen
in a long time... then I discovered SAMBA and my life changed !
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 !

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
