Yes thats what i was getting at, a .xif (MiNT net interface) that talks
a hosts tun (tunnel) net if.  this is the one thats normally used for
e.g. ijppp (usermode ppp)...

 sure, once you have ip...  some trap #1 extension in STonX or a
direct .xfs would of course be faster (and should get you working
locking, etc) but nfs would at least be a start.
