Actually, I forgot to mention - Justin and Gary finally got around to testing this just before I left the country and I seem to recall that all they could get were panics. If you can get ahold of Gary before HE leaves the country, or Justin at pretty much any time, I'm sure they'll be happy to help you work on it more. This is actually getting to be more of a priority for WC since even at the 100mbit speeds we're running our internal network at, stupid DOS is still unable to transfer more than 300k/sec due to interrupt load or something. This makes transfering a 600MB CD image to the burner machine verrrry slooooooow and it would be neatness incarnate if we could just suck the images over with FreeBSD (which basically sucks things at raw disk I/O speeds over the 100BT net) and whap them straight to the burner.
