I have been using two programs from the octopus,
oxport/ofs (in sources, contrib) as a

styx<---ofs----> op <----oxport---->  ns

gateway, it seems to work well when ping reports 120+ ms of rtt.
I use this to boot a locat inferno to work using our FS file tree and it
seems to work well. I think I copied the man pages along with the source
into sources.
