They said NFS/TCP will be available in Solaris 2.4 or later.
cecilp@vancouver.cantel.rogers.com (Cecil Pang) called it NFS+.

For Solaris 2.3, the value for udp_do_checksum is 1. I presume that checksum
is enabled. The command: "ndd /dev/udp \?" shows that values that can be
changed. CAUTION: do not type "ndd /dev/udp udp_status" it will cause a
a system panic over recursive mutex.
