    No, the purpose is to be able to run a DragonFly kernel as a userland
    process, so I can mock-up clusters to test the SYSLINK protocol.  The
    SYSLINK protocol is the layer that will interface between machines in
    a cluster and that same layer will also be used to interact with 
    remote filesystems (VFSs) and devices, and other things.

    You can't email me directly from a PacBell DSL line.  Your reverse
    DNS is returning 'adsl-blah-blah-blah-blah.dsl.blah.pacbell.net'.
    If it is a static IP I can add an exception, though.  I need to
    redo my spam filter at some point.  I'll probably have to go to
    a full verification scheme.
