John H. is packaging some utok stuff for me written for SunOS for use in out of kernel development. We might have to do a custom ktou and transport layer to use it. They used NFS for the transport layer in their Ficus project, but it depends on a userland NFS server to work. We will also have to do some kernel api emulation. I'll have to talk to John Dyson and others to see if that is even feasible for all the calls the fs code needs to make. Regards, Mike
