Subj : NFS for DOS?

Has anyone ever done any experimenting or playing with something that will
allow a purely DOS system (that might or might not be running QEMM and DV)
to be able to access NFS shares on a linux machine?
 
My telnet DOS BBS nodes work great under dosemu and linux, but the dial-up
node not so much.  I think it is the dosemu-to-linux-to-usb-to-serial-to-
modem connection that makes it flakey.  I would like to be able to move the
dial up system back to a dedicated DOS machine while still having it be
able to share doors, message areas, etc., with the telnet nodes.
 
In the limited research I have done, I have not really seen a good NFS
solution for DOS.  I was also wondering if there was not some sort of smart
contraption, like some of the ones that you hook to a serial port that act
like a modem to trick DOS comm programs into answering the "ring" of a
telnet connection, might also somehow be hooked to a DOS machine to trick
it into thinking that network shares defined on the contraption are
actually (external) hard drives.
 
Probably a little pie in the sky but this seems like a smart group so I
thought I would ask.  ;)
