Does pathworks/advanced server support NAS???

No.  Pathworks & Advanced Server are SMB *servers*.  They have no
*client* functionality.

   .../Ed

Actually it depends on which stack and which version... TCPIP Services
5.x has an NFS client and server. And at one time Advanced Server had a
client as well as server (used it many years ago) - but also don't
remember what it was called. (smbclient??) I know that SAMBA has this
(used it before as well...)

smbclient exists for some versions of Samba - Linux yes, Solaris, no.
Samba doesn't exist for OpenVMS 7.3
Advanced Server, to the best of my recollection, has never provided
for an SMB client for VMS. Please don't confuse Advanced Server with
TCP/IP Services - it does not depend on which stack or version. No
version has provided client functionality (hence the name Advanced
*SERVER*).

Using the NFS client on VMS may possibly also give you some grief with
the NAS device. Certainly, not all products that claim to be NAS do
NFS, and even if it does NFS, prepare yourself with some fun with UID/
GID mappings. You may or may not (and likely not) have ACL support.

The original poster never said what brand of NAS or exactly what level
of functionality he wanted. Without hacks (such as Glenn Everharts's
pseudo-disk driver) there's no way it's just going to look like
another VMS disk drive.
