NetBSD's wscons seems to fit in this scheme, OpenBSD has adopted it as well (the most featured implementation is in NetBSD/i386). Scott> 6. Overhaul CAM, add iSCSI.

It seems that work has been done in this area by Wasabi (not published in NetBSD, iirc) Very appealing goals, if only I were a decent coder...
