I've connected through cfs for years but gave it up now that I have to connect to more than one file server — cfs isn't good at tracking what server you use and will interpret cached data from one server as belonging to another. Not good. Cfs gives a fair amount of speedup. It still contacts the server on every open, but, if the file hasn't changed, won't need to fetch it from the server again. Sape
