And how portable is your little solution?
On the front side, very portable *and* network agnostic. You can reach the server from practically anywhere (assuming fw allows it) as long as you can access 9P fileservers (in theory it should also be re-exportable through other network filesystems, even i didn try it yet ;-o). The backend side (the actual interface controll stuff) yet is linux-specific, but it can be easily adapted to other platforms. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ cellphone: +49 174 7066481 email: i...@metux.de skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
