The Solaris systems are part of my home lab. I run S8, S9, and S10 on three Ultra 10s. I have RHEL V4 running on an OLD PC. I have OpenVMS running on a DEC Alpha. My "desktop" is a PC running W/XP. When I need to do something I can generally find a system that will help! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
