Ah, I'm glad to hear it's still alive. The v2.0 patches aren't
maintained anymore, I think.

Yes, no problem. Using /dev/* you're talking to drivers in the running
kernel, not to those on the NFS-server. There seems to be a problem
with named pipes though. I have:
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 12:09 /dev/gpmdata|
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 1997 /dev/gpmdata#host=CREATE#
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 30 1997 /dev/gpmdata#host=keks#|
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 12 1996 /dev/gpmdata#host=leia#|
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 12:09 /dev/gpmdata#host=vader#|
for the X11 mouse-repeater pseudo device. (Using named pipes for IPC
between different hosts doesn't work either, btw.)

Nah..
magic> What is happening when two hosts lock the /dev/console ?
Works fine.
