It is possible to some extent, i have made directed restores using a windows
machine and restored to Linux machines lacking X
(only as a test, but it worked).

But, it is probably impossible to restore files with special filenames.
Ex. think it would be impossible to make a rederected recover of a file
named "report1/report2.pdf" using a windows machine.

And, as you point out, special data as "resource forks" must also
be handled automatically.

Yes, but i assume that you are using a CLI for other tasks also ?
These users are photoshop/indesign people.

They have no problem of find and restore files using the legato Gui (under
Linux), but open a terminal windows, finding a file among perhaps 1.5
million networker-records and restoring that using a CLI would probably be
to difficult..
