Bizarre coincidence time : while skip diving this morning in search of recyclable floppies, I came across a full box set of "OnNet for Windows" which includes NFS support for (wait for it....) Win3.1/3.11/95/NT. I dunno about anything later, or which versions of NFS, but if you want to try it I can either slap the disk images (it's so old the whole suite is on 11 floppies) on a CD or email you the relevant disks. There is a box full of treeware too, but postage will be a bit steep for that. Drop me a mail if you are interested at paul_sims [at] ntlworld.com
