    i've been thinking about this a lot lately and am planning on
    really starting to look into now as a little more free time has
    come up.

    i always thought about making the changes in the filesystem.
    to be able to have certain windows (fs directories) bound to local
    files and others bound to remote files.  reads/writes on the
    latter would be translated to a sam-like protocol and sent to
    the other host.  your first remote window could be started with
    something like 'New hostname', which would bring up a directory
    window.
