Yeah there is certainly sun code... for example here's the copyright bit in a file: /* * xdr.c, Generic XDR routines implementation. * * Copyright (C) 1984, Sun Microsystems, Inc. * * These are the "generic" xdr routines used to serialize and de-serialize * most common data items.

One of the uni's I went to made that transition in the mid 90's.. At that time I didn't realize how many 'upgrades' they had made to Ultrix to make it... usable. Although I don't think I miss archie/veronica but the simplicity of pine/lynx is kind of there.. oh sure they still run on 'modern' things but it isn't the same really. > > The comp. center preferred having a vendor with whom there could be > a support contract - IIRC then otherwise we probably would have > been running this too. > > Ah, those were the days, when men were real men, and computers > were vaxen. :-) > >> FWIW here is the UUCP entry I found... >> ------ >> #N    eedsp >> #S    Vax 11/780; 4.3+NFS Wisconsin Unix >> #O    School of Electrical Engineering >> #C    Deborah J.

I did manage to hack the networking for it to work... It's not elegant, but commenting out the error checking in if_de's derecv procedure seems to work... I could ping around for the last 5 hours, and telnet into it. I'll have to build some package with simh to run it on windows...
