Ficl issue?  Missed that one.  In case nobody said that publicly, and since
you seem the spokesman for the new boot;  Job Well Done!  Thanx!

BTW, I made good on my threat to really get involved in this project;  I
just installed a compile machine and am rebuilding it now.

It is something called AlphaPC LX164 or some such.  Looks like a PCI
motherboard. Not at all like the PWau.

Also, NFS seems reasonable between the two machines.  And stability is
excellent.

Simon

BTW, performance is not so bad either.
