Re: NFS server on iPAQ

Yee,

Thank you for your response. I hadn't poked around on the skiff machines
enough to realize that I could do what you suggested. It's very useful
information. I'll try and keep it in mind going forward. I'm in the middle
of trying to implement the solution provided by Gerard Briscoe in his
earlier response to my query. I'll use the setup on the skiffs as a guide if
I get stuck along the way.

I appreciate your help.

Regards,
Mateen Khan
