Mark, can you say some more about that?  We're hoping to start doing
LAN-free and I was hoping that we could see some nice improvements in
large backups that go straight to tape.  Are you just talking about the
case where the LAN is relatively uncongested and the SAN is overloaded? 
Or is there something else I'm missing?
