Actually, if anyone does take this up, I have a K class HP9000 sitting here at TWA stuffed in a rack not being used at all for anything. It's not even plugged in. I could ask my boss if we could loan it out or what kind of access we can offer to it if anyone does get a wild notion to try a port. 240Mhz PA-RISC 8200 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 18GB of disk :-) would make a fast devel server :) Although im not sure how popular a PA-RISC port would be. I'd much rather see ultrasparc support so I can get rid of that horrid thing Sun sells called Solaris. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (816) 464-7780 | Sr. Unix Administrator Work: chris.watson@twa.com | Trans World Airlines, Kansas City, MO Home: scanner@jurai.net | http://www.twa.com ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
