Reference a directory on another Unix server

I want to reference a directory on another Unix server. I have looked at the ln command but have seen information only relating to directories on the same server. Any suggestions?
It is IBM AIX Unix 4.3 server.

You didn't state the OS and version - check your man pages for nfsd. You may have to share out the mount point and mount it on your second server via nfs to access the directory.
