Does anyone love KNFS enough to want to port it to Linux?

Hi Garry,
I expect to be using KNFS Clients on Linux-Athena, and there is a
strong possibility of wanting KNFS Servers on Linux-Athena in the near
(1-6 months) future. I'd like to register my desire for this software
and maybe help raise the priority for KNFS.
My goal with this would be to shift small labs that are running NT or
W2K over to Linux-Athena with KNFS instead of Windows shares.
Thanks,
--Tom
