Whenever we can get it working I'll more than happy to write a short 
'How-To' for Freebsd/axp. BTW: I don't like Freebsd/alpha, because of
the overloading of alpha in the software engineering world. Not that I
really like the axp phrase coined by Digital productmarketing but it at
least makes a distinction with the 'other' alpha meaning.
