I have been asking about this for a while.  Occasionally an interested 
party arises.  The work remains incomplete.

The last rumor I heard was that the server works.  The client doesn't 
work out of the box.  I did have the client sort of working once upon a 
time.  That is to say that it was working right up until it panicked.

OSX is a different kernel.  The kernel is where the difficulty lies.

Later,
