NFS server suggestion

I'm interested in getting an NFS server software for my NT system so that my Unix machinces can share its resources. Is there a market-leading package out there that is highly recommended?

Thanks in advance

CIFS is loaded on the UNIX machine and enables Windows machines to use the shared directories, not vice versa.

I don't think this was what the question was asking.

Re: NFS server suggestion

We use a NFS software called Disk Access and Disk Share that allow our the UNIX server to have folders mounted that are on NT workstations. It also allows us to share the server to the NT stations as a mapped drive (we map /home to the workstations as the v:\ drive over the network). However, I don't know if this would work for a NT server and UNIX workstations.
