Hi Tim:

We have been using Shaffer Solutions as our NFS solution.  I do believe that
they are an off-shoot of the original Intergraph Software.  Their software
works very well  and has been pretty solid.  Our servers provide Window, NFS
and MAC access and have not conflicted with each other.

Jeremy, we have been running MF for UNIX for about 3 years as remote access
solution and it works well.  Our users say that it just flies.  They prefer
MF at home over an emulator like Exceed or Reflections.  With the new
licensing scheme in 4.0 , we plan to deploy a number of published apps
running off our Solaris boxes.  We are just plugging through the install
process.  It's not as straight-forward as the windows install.
