- No way, sorry :-(( There are no cdrom drives (yet) which are able to read
- audio data from the cd-rom (if my memory serves me right SGI uses a
- hardware patched drive for doing that).
- So you do have no chance to transmit any data from your local cd-rom drive
- to any other host (except you have a really long speaker cable or the
- workstations are in the same room -- just play it loud :-)))
