And does anyone have an elegant way to back up local HDs over the net?
Man-oh-man, I need a *secured* way to get the data off local drives and
backed up!  (There is a way to do this on PC Novell networks, but I have
yet to see its equiv. on the Mac side.)  

While I'm wishing, how about a network interface card (pref. 10BASE-T
twisted-pair Ethernet) for Macs that lets 'em boot off the network?
SEs?  II-series?
