5201.0. "Serving files with NFS instead of Pathworks" by CSC32::HOCKETT () Wed Feb 05 1997 23:22

    I have a large customer with a cluster of alphas currently running VMS
    6.2 and soon upgrading to 7.1. He wants the Alphas to provide NFS file
    serving to Win 95 and WNT PCs.
    
    He is planning on using Chameleon32 as the NFS client and server on NT.
    His initial testing indicates this is slower than serving thru
    Pathworks.
    
    Is this a resaonable/dependable thing for the customer to do?
    
    Any Horror stories and things to not do?
    
    How does NFS file serving performance compair to Pathworks serving?
    
    Anything better to use than Chameleon32?
    
    Thanks
