glad to hear of someone using them at last. They were 
written up in Linux J at least a year ago and seemed like a 
really good idea for a fileserver close to the machine(s) 
(no IP, just the simpler layer 2). Whenever I've talked to 
vendors and mention AoE, they say "oh, sure" smiling as if 
they know all about it. There's a pause and the next thing 
they're talking about their really neat product again, 
presumably hoping you didn't notice that they don't have 
anything with AoE. I can't imagine why they don't.
