----------------------- Previous Summary --------------------------------------
Here's the results of my SunOS & DOS hard drive sharing poll.

PC-NFS 11
Samba 5
PC/TCP 2
XFS 1
Chameleon 0.5
OnNet 0.5

I haven't tried any of these yet though I can get a copy of PC-NFS to
try it and I also plan on trying Samba and this XFS simply because
they're free.

I'll summarize these results later if anyone see's the need for it.
