In what way? I always considered it a very well-written and structured 
piece of code, with very clean and well-designed APIs. The networking 
primitives are completely seperated from the filing system, you don't 
have to have the NFS as the filing system to be able to do network 
transmission/reception, etc. Are you confusing the NFS with a particular 
file server at the other end? "The Beeb's display is crap because I've 
got it plugged into a crap telly"? All a properly-written client of 
/any/ sort does is purely and simply expose whatever is at the other end 
of the communication link.
