- I've been thinking about doing it, but given my current time
- limitations it will be a long time before I'll be able to work on it.
-
- I use messages, so ideally, I'd like to have NFS access over SLIP to
- access my mail and folders while running messages locally. It is a real
- protocol pig, so running it remotely over 9600 baud SLIP through ka9q
- is very painful. NFS with a local copy of messages should be much faster.
- I do however have enough disk space.
