	Hey, if anybody is willing to take the money, I've got some  
waiting...  We use the isp driver a lot at Ironport.com, and would  
LOVE multipathing, or even just a better way to handle a WWPN going  
away and then coming back somewhere else.  Last year, I got some  
budget to throw at somebody, but the person who we were talking to  
didn't have the time to do it.  I'm pretty sure I could get some of  
that $$ again.
	Who can do the work, how much will it take, and who else is  
interested?  Anybody?  :-)  Thanks, and have fun!
