I look at it not so much as a colon delimiting a host name as a name used
to address the "network device" connecting two machines. 🙂 Why not
treat the device name on the remote system as a directory name, and make it
like this:
NodeName:df0/games/whizbang
Which would be translated by the remote machine as:
df0:games/whizbang
There are a number of project that I'm aware of that treat remote
directories in similar ways. Just curious about people's opinions on
this….does this sound resonable? I hope John Toebes hurries up and
decides how to do this….I hear he's working on this for a DNET device,
something I would LOVE to have!
