Thanks, Steven.

Downloading now.

I have failed to be able to use nfs between BL3.21 on two computers 
connected by Ethernet cards and a crossover cable.

Those two, "ASUS" (this one, except I'm in Win98 now) and "FIC", do it 
fine in BL2.1.   FIC has the 3  rpc.*  files you told me of (from 
tcpip1.tgz?) last fall, and the appropriate things in  exports  and in   
hosts.allow.

ASUS does the appropriate  mount  , and then MC can manipulate files on 
both computers, etc

But I must be confused at to what works with what:  I cannot get the 
rpc.* to run under BL3.

So am hoping to run good old BL2.1 on FIC, and someday be able to mount 
it (192.168.1.1:/) on ASUS using BL3?

I guess even the new MC won't let me access the other computer unless I 
can mount it.

Have ripped open 3 computers, moved NICs, etc etc 

Can't rip out any hair, there's very little remaining,

Thanks much,
