Thanks for the reply, Will. You say the last few months. The last update I
have seen was last October. Is there updates tucked away somewhere?

The only RPM I see is netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.2-C3.mips.rpm (in the Qube 2
directory).

Database support for netatalk+asun. Searches continue to be extremely slow
and some clients have moved from Cobalt boxes just for that reason (in
favor of ASIP). There also seems to be a reported file locking or lack
thereof issue (probably related to lack of db and lack of cooperation with
samba). Also, and probably related is the occasional currupted appledouble
file which results in the infamous "dancing icon" phenomena. Default
randnum encryption?

GUI configure external drives. Gui configure failover and/or backup to
additional units.  Actually _any_ backup system that works (easily) would
be nice. Additional drive capacity (32 gigs is nothin anymore).

Speed! Once a competitor, now NasRaq is falling farther and farther behind.
Peer to peer sharing between iMacs will blow it away...

I look forward to seeing updates soon! Converting NasRaqs to RaQ 2's has
seemed a bit of a waste for me...
