@AmigaKit

Might I recommend that you also add support for RDesktop?  RDP to Windows machines is very nice.

Granted smbfs would require a total rewrite indeed.


I use it to mount Windows XP shares and Samba 2.something shares on a Solaris 8 machine (yeah, need to update my Samba.)

Works like a charm.  With a good networking system, mass amounts of storage on the Amiga become more of a novelty than necessity.  I love having the 18GB UW-SCSI drive on my MKIII, but it's pretty loud and warm.  4GB of flash and network shares with a light-weight network stack and I should be just fine -- wonder how WHDLoad works across the network.... hmmmm
