Running applications on a remote computer and displaying the results
on your own computer’s screen is as easy as using a terminal emulator
(see “Terminal Emulators” on page 127) if you are working only with text.

NFS Mounts
NFS mounts are possible between personal computers and HP-UX
systems. Usually, an HP-UX-based file system is mounted as a drive
letter under a PC Windows-based operating system.
The PC NFS daemon must be running on the HP-UX system for that
system to service requests from personal computers.
For more details on NFS and its use on HP-UX systems, see “Sharing
Files and Applications via NFS and ftp” on page 394 and “CIFS/9000” on
page 401.
