Ideally, yes.

This looks like an interesting solution. So in this case, I could use a
simple ADSL router (like the D-Link 614+, which I already have), and then
add this Martian device to the network for print- and file-sharing. With
120GB of drive space, it would be ideal. Hmmm, the only outstanding
consideration would be data backup. (I guess I could, from time to time,
hook up the 120GB firewire drive I have now to one of the Powerbooks, and
mirror the mirror Martian drive to it.)

Anyway, thanks for the tip!
