If you have some moneys, buy HUMMINGBIRD NFS MAESTRO server for NT: NFS Maestro Server enables UNIX workstations and network-attached NFS computers to access Windows-based resources such as Windows NT file systems, directories, printers and CD-ROMs across a network. http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/nfs/index.html
