It's a network block device driver for DOS.

* Mount standard disk images (floppy or HD) from a server (Linux or Windows at the moment)
* There is a read-only mode supported either on the server side (mark the image file read-only) or the client side (use a command line option).
* It uses UDP so it's routable - you can attach disk images on remote servers.
* No special permissions required on Unix or Windows.
