  I'm going to want to do the same thing soon.  I am not sure, but I don't 
think FreeBSD supports NFS 3.0.  Solaris 2.5/2.5.1 and possibly 2.4.  
However, Solaris is supposed to default to the server protocol. ( But,
I never believe anything about solaris anymore ).. You can force solaris
to use NFS2 .  Also, you can force it to use UDP packets instead of TCP.

  I don't know if FreeBSD NFS TCP works with Solaris's.

: Thanks in advance.
