This disconnection feature sounds sort of like the Windows 95 briefcase, only
a whole lot more advanced.  If you have, for example, a desktop machine where
/home is a CODA FS and you have the same /home on a notebook as a CODA FS,
does it auto-sync them when you hook the notebook up to the desktop machine?
If so, can it sync across a TCP/IP connection? This could have interesting
ramifications for the future of the TLUG library :-)
