What were you using the acronyme, "NAS," to describe? You seemed to be describing a network storage appliance, however, I never got a clear description of what you were using the term for. The context seemed to be such that you would have to have been describing the network storage appliance. Were you talking about a "Network Access Server" or a "Network Application Server?" If anyone is familiar with the topics of building Network Access Servers with FreeBSD, I would appreciate any input. -- Respectfully, M.G.W.
