It certainly is outside the realm of FreeBSD's traditional ISP and home markets (funny to talk about "traditional" on such a young BSD), but I would imagine research and industrial environments would benefit from such a beast.

Joerg's recent work with the CD-ROM burner would no doubt figure prominently in an HSM application. :) -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org, taob@ican.net) Systems and Network Administrator, Internet Canada Corp.
