Apparently there is a program that runs on the server and presents a view of the file system via a proprietary protocol. A separate client (available on windows, linux solaris) presents this as a mounted file system (on windows, a mapped network drive). How much of factotum, etc. needs to be ported to a platform before a similar client could be written for 9p? --Joel _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
