A friend of mine reported some bad trouble going from a Linux -> FreeBSD
machine using sshfs (which doesn't affect Macs at all, obviously), but
I've experimented with it on a couple of my G4 machines and it worked
great in limited tests from both on and off-campus.  One of my
researchers was quite happy with it too, except he said:

So perhaps DW folks may see problems?
