In fact, I'm not shure cause I'm working on my masters thesis right now.
If it's ok by you, we should leave it in the networks package and see,
what we can get done by August.

Well, to fit into KDE2.0 it should support kparts and D'nd to the
filemanager/desctop. 
I had a fast look at the kparts docu, so it shouldn't
be _that_ difficult. Maybe I have to undergo some changes of the GUI
internals to easy port it to kparts.
The other thing of Dnd I'll move further away, maybe the kfm people can
give me a hint.
Everything else is shugar for the GUI, i.e. not essentially needed.
