For now you could use the MacTCP socket library available via FTP at
madhaus.toronto.edu.

Doesn't the "Appleshare" chooser document do that?  Or do you mean
some sort of library for your software?

I would guess that an NFS client would be just another chooser device/
document.

[we need a better name for chooser documents -- choosedev? (a la
cdev)]
