The NFS client software enables client users to access file
    systems made available by an NFS server. These files and
    directories physically reside on the remote (server) host but
    appear to the client as if they were on the local system. For
    example, any files accessed by an OpenVMS client - even a UNIX
    file - appear to be OpenVMS files and have typical OpenVMS file
    names.

    Configuring and managing the NFS client on your OpenVMS host
    involves the following tasks:

    o  Configuring the NFS client using TCPIP$CONFIG

    o  Registering users in the proxy database

    o  Mounting (attaching) remote files and directories exported by
       the NFS server
