    Yes, The Newcastle Connection is implemented without changing the kernel
in any way. It is actually a bit more than a distributed filestore as it
distributes signals and process execution as well (in fact it attempts
to distribute ALL the Unix functions).
  If anyone wishes more information about the Connection please feel
free to contact me (the software is actually being marketed commercially,
but I don't really want to use the net for advertising so I shall say no more).
