Adding IPv6 is on my TODO list, but it's probably fair to say that
it's not that high up, around the same place as "Sell all my guitars",
and "Fix up ballet lessons for myself".

I'm working on a NetBSD initiator, but it won't be in 4.0.

There are, however, iSCSI initiators on other platforms - instructions
for using the Microsoft initiator, along with screenshots, were posted
in my original mail.  There are already existing HOWTOs on setting up
the UNH initiator on Linux, no sense in duplicating them.  I haven't
looked, but suspect there must be something on the initiator that
comes with 2.6.15 and later.

There is also the iSCSI test harness, (in src/usr.sbin/iscsi/harness)
which does all the iSCSI initiator testing from userland.  It is not
installed by default, since it's of little use to anyone except
die-hards.

Now where did I put the number of the ballet school?
