I tried installing PC-NFS under VP/ix (well, it's like this: I had a
network interface card that PC-NFS would drive (an NI5010) and none that
VP/ix a la' Micom-Interlan would drive an NP-600) ) and no matter what
I did the diagnostics kept coming back saying it couldn't find the
interface card at the address I was telling it to use. I assumed it was
getting mapped to someplace else. Perhaps it was just timing out?
