The hack was done years ago for AS225R2. Interworks can still supply you with (I think) a slightly improved version. The main 'problem' is that all writes (even from the host) must go through NFS or the table (part of the hack) must be rebuilt. Still, it works pretty reasonably well. -- Kent Polk: Southwest Research Institute (will disavow any knowledge of me) Internet : kent@eaenki.nde.swri.edu (DoF #) : Official DoF Squid Motto: "Ride Hard/Crash Gently"
