- PCNFS does supply NFS services and direct printing to network resources that
- QVTnet does not supply directly. Additionally, QVTnet is an application that
- uses the packet form of data transport (they all do really, but for arguments
- sake, I use packet here to denote packet-driver) as opposed to the NDIS or ODI
- or lan manager implementations of network interface. When QVTnet ships an NFS
- server/client with their software, and a seamless interface for printing from
- within Windows, then they will have a complete package. Actually, they have a
- wonderful package! It would just be nice if it worked with some of the other
- network interface protocols that people use.
