Your best bet would be NFS over SL/IP. But your communication would be
limited to serial line speeds instead of disk speeds (or ethernet speeds).
(No, I haven't done it, SL/IP hasn't been released for the standard network
kernel yet, and this is the place where the KA9Q SL/IP falls a little short.)
