Has any one done any work on a UNIX extended file system ??
The minimal `feature' of such a file system, would
be to allow individual file access, via pathnames.

For example; from machine A, one would cat a file on machine B
with:
	cat A:/usr/jon/.login
or
	cat /dev/net/A/usr/jon/.login


A bit similar to `rcp', except that open(), close(), read(), write() ...
will be implemented as a `DEVICE' at the kernel level.

Any ideas, suggestion ??
