That is not in the BeOS Preview Release 2 or in the forthcoming Release 3. We are looking at NFS for a future release.

In the meantime, there is an NFS server, BeNFSServer, that was written by Andreas Huber. You can find it in BeWare, or check out his own web site:

Additionally, it is possible to write a BeOS file system plug-in that would mount NFS volumes, just as the BeOS can mount Macintosh hard drives. Be will be providing documentation regarding how to write file system plug-ins, so a wide variety of foreign file systems, including NFS, may become supported in the future.

Does the BeOS support remote access to the system?

Is XWindows available on BeOS?
