Could you or someone please post a SLIP login script and any other 
associated files.  I do have a "marginal" script running but since the 
creation script in sysadm is broken when adding a SLIP driver as the second 
connection I don't think I have everything set up right.  I would appreciate 
any information that you can shed on this (perhaps even a fixed sysadm 
script for 2.2)

I have it running and had no failures at all for over 3 weeks.  Even when a 
connected system is rebooted the NFS mount is right there when it comes back 
up.  Seems almost error free.  I have not yet received the yellow pages 
(that I suggest everyone to send for since it is a slick part of NFS in a 
small or large network and it is FREE!) and being able to set groups and 
ownership Network wide is a real plus.

I saw a speed decrease due to the RAM demand being higher, but adding 
another 8 megs of ram and a little kernel tuning brought performance right 
back up again.  Make sure your not in a constant swap situation since 2.2 
uses more ram than was needed under 2.02.
