I believe the NVFS feature was introduced on the Treo 650 and the
Tungsten T5. Both are around 4 years old, so if this already worked,
I think you'd probably know about it my now, even if not from
first-hand experience. But I'll be sure to test it shortly and report
my results.

I'm sorry to hear development has ceased, but happy that someone else
may be picking it up. "Commercial" is better than "dead", but (and
I'm sure this has been discussed to death) "open source" may have a
leg up on "commercial". I have a new toy to play with, so I'll be
happy for a while in either case. :)
Thanks,
Todd
