<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=531060813-01082009>Firstly, thanks
Zooko for looking through my log and finding my error. I now have a working
introducor, and I am sure I will be able to put the other parts of the network
together. I want to use Tahoe for backing up my data and I am considering
building a grid.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=531060813-01082009>Whilst surfing the
internet I stumbled across <A
href="http://www.nas-central.org/">http://www.nas-central.org/</A> which is
a site dedicated to seeing what can be done with NAS devices. I have an imoega
network attached disk and it comes with a webfront end and it must run a samba
and ftp server. (It also has some other fancy media streaming thing which I
havn't looked into.)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=531060813-01082009>Has anyone managed
to get Tahoe working on a consumer NAS device? If anyone has I would be
intrested to read about your experences. I have an Iomega device and there is no
info on getting access to the underlying hardware on the nas central site. (It
might not be possible.) I am imagining buying three or four NAS devices and
convincing friends to plug them into their ADSL routers. Then I would just need
to figure out NAT translation and make sure I understand the process of
replacing the introducer and I think I will have a pretty robust and low cost
backup plan.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
