Subject: [almost OT] Econet/NetFS server for Linux - Interest?

Hi,

As a personal challenge, and due to an astonishing lack of Google 
results on the subject, I've started writing an Econet/NetFS server for 
Linux, using the AUN (Econet-over-UDP) protocol. This means its somewhat 
limited to 32-bit machines with an ethernet card at present, but it 
could be adapted to operate with native Econet cards. So far its working 
well with the stock NetFS (no !OmniClient here), including Logon, 
Directory Browse (with LIB support), object info (*INFO), limited file 
reading (e.g. *TYPE, reading files into !Edit seems to work well), 
filetyping, and Logoff.

Should the project ever reach completion (its a spare time thing, you 
know what happens...) would there be any interest afield in the program? 
Or am I completely re-inventing the wheel here, and I just didn't Google 
hard enough?
