Windoze by default only supports SMB/CIFS which zLinux can serve using SAMBA.
So either purchase () NFS Clients for
windows, use Linux on your Workstations, or
switch from NFS to SAMBA on your zLinux.
Actually, that's not completely true; there's at
least one free NFS client for Windows:
Microsoft's "Services For Unix" ("SFU") package:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/default.mspx
This free download for Windows 2000/XP includes
both an NFS client *and* and server.
Another option might be Cygwin:
http://www.cygwin.com/
I believe this free package might also come with an NFS client.
Both packages provide extensive Unix-type
environment for Windows, including goodies like
the bash shell, perl, awk, X server and most of your favorite tools.
However, as José L. Ramírez points out in his
message, you may need to "logon" to the mainframe
NFS server in order to access the filesystems
exported by the server. AFAIK, neither SFU or
Cygwin provide an equivalent to the "mvslogin"
command described by Mr. Ramírez.
