Recall that physical access isn't exactly easy these days.  Doesn't make

Thanks for offering to help, it's very much appreciated.  I personally
agree with Chuck's opinion of its vi...  

Mind you, I offered to set it up with Debian/Sparc, but at the time
(when we switched to this hardware) it seemed very easy to continue
to run on Solaris... seems like we have plenty of Solaris admins around
in BayLISA, right? :)   We'd planned to build the main useful things from
upstream sources anyway.
