sure, but how? we have similar objectives, ie, let the kernel do what it knows
best, and the user level do the rest. In my case:

user:
	- login/discovery
	- connection/connection-recovery
kernel:
	- data moving (which sounds a bit of an understatement)
	- answer to NOP_OUTs
the idea is that the kernel does most of the job, until the connection
breaks down, and then it's the user program's job to do the reconnect.

i've written so far some 8k lines of code (still missing some 2 months of
coding) and you have already done some 18k.

and then there is the little problem of GPL vs. BSD :-)

PS: I hope this does not sound too pessimistic, I realy would like to
join efforts.
