yes, it should be. A similar attempt was done several years ago (by accessing a TI trough ftp). And, I have been thinking about that with Gnome & Bonobo 
(like FolderLink under Windows).
Unfortunately, I don't have time enough for doing this.

Anyways, it's an interesting idea. Given that I'm going to begin TiLP v7.0
(migrating to GTK+ 2.0, add DnD support which should have been added since
v4.0), it may be interesting to foresee this for sharing some mechanisms.

>In a unix environment, taking advantage of the existing mounting system and /proc may useful for TI's (mounting them like discs, and viewing calculator specific information in /proc) Just throwing out an idea and seeing if it'll stick. Thanks 


Pushed on my TODO list with TiEmu and some other stuffs...

BTW, if you want to manage this, you're welcome ;-)
