[comp.sys.amiga.tech] NET: file system

/* eat this! */

Does anyone know the status of the NET: file system?  (I believe it was
being worked on by the software distillery)  Is it finished?  If so,
how can I get it?

On what I consider to be the same topic, is anyone aware of ANY option 
for a real Amiga network (no PEE CEEs or Suns required as fileservers)?
The only one I am aware of is CMI's appletalk board, for which software
won't be available for at least a month.  Is C-A going to have software
for Amiga servers under the ethernet card it bought?  Any other networking
hardware/software?

I am interested only in things which will be purchasable in 1989.  Vaporware
and product previews need not apply.

It's available on BIX and PLINK, probably lots of other places by now.
I have submitted it to comp.binaries.amiga, but got no response at all
either time, not even an acknowledgement.  I have to assume my messages
are not getting through.

I am planning on cleaning up the source and making it available in the
next week or two.  Please, don't request that I mail it, our mail is
fairly unreliable and I don't want to flood the system with too much
mail - it is quite large.  If the moderators of comp.binaries and
comp.sys.amiga would contact me, odds would improve of it getting out
here since I could snarf the return path the mail message took.
