Meaning that the Linux boxes should be able to mount volumes exported by the mainframe? That shouldn't be a problem; just do a "mount host:/export /mountpoint" It works well enough mounting FBSD shares; I'm sure it would work with os/390 too (which would probably be running a *nix, anyhow, which actually exports the volumes).

Not really an issue, as long as there is TCP/IP connectivity available. NFS is on a higher layer than are the ethernet; refer to your OSI model...

os/390 rox. :) for task 2, don't. Use *BSD or something else. Linux NFS is not consistently reliable right now (to put it *really* nicely). Hopefully it will be soon.
