Although I have yet to install SOS on my local net, a question came up the other day in conversation. To whit: Can SOS export a device, (say COM1:), as an nfs mountable file system? I see this working something like this: mount host:/dev/com1 /dev/com3 (in Unix parlance) So that I could then say: copy filename.ext com3: Can do? If not, are there serious technological reasons that it can not be done? Or do the hooks for this not exist? (I'd be willing to write them.)
