There was an implementation done by Lucent last year for 4.x, but it has
a sticky license and is probably out of date.  I and several others see
iSCSI as something that really needs to get done, but the 3-4 months of
development time is more than can be done on evenings and weekends.  I
would also want to do it 'right' and implement new infrastructure in CAM
to accompany it rather than making it monolithic like the Lucent
implementation.

What kind of project do you need it for, and what kind of resources do
you have right now?
