Doesn't Sun have an implementation?  I could have sworn that the guy who 
gave the NFS V3 talk at last Summer's Usenix was from Sun and kept 
referring to figures from the "Solaris 2 implementation" -- whether he 
meant a sample implementation running on Solaris 2, or a production 
implementation then being shipped with Solaris 2, I don't know.  Does Solaris
2.4 include NFS V3?

Agreed.  Perhaps soon there will be no more OS vendors.
