Do you have any reservations that the WinIB (Mellanox) SRP initiators will not work with SRPT? <BR>
<BR>
If there is any doubt, I need to know so that I can fall back to iSCSI over IPoIB (iSIPIB??? <IMG SRC="cid:1184130106.22408.5.camel@gentoo-linux.localdomain" ALIGN="middle" ALT=";)" BORDER="0"> ) . This has lots more overhead, but it's a sure bet until this can be worked out.<BR>
