We (VICOR) liked it (netwait) so much, we back-ported it as a package... and now make it available to the public (as of today -- looks like you folks could use it!) NOTE: The package automatically enables itself as a requirement for mountcritremote (pkg_add, add "netwait_enable=YES" to rc.conf(5) and reboot; that's it).
