you could use their vnode switch--possibly called something else
but i haven't got the old documentation here--to convert file system operations
to messages in much the same way as the 8th edition file system switch,
although the latter was simpler.  (the RFS changes were something else again.)
NFS wasn't completely useful because the close wasn't transmitted.

BSD had the ability to put one *in* the kernel.  Not out of, except by
hacks like using the NFS protocol.
