        John,
        I don't know about "dead".  I know that Jeff was asking for a 
Solaris machine to test and compile one a few days ago.  The problem 
just might be that there aren't a lot of Solaris machines to go 
around.  There is some chance that my office might get a Sun Blade 
soon, but "soon" is open to interpretation.
        It kind of makes me wish Netatalk had a rich benefactor. 
Something tells me Scott McNealy isn't going to hand us an Ultra 5 . 
Of course, I'd *like* to be wrong on this one.
        Maybe writing Sun and asking politely wouldn't be a bad idea? 
Heck, maybe there is someone over at Sun who would be more then happy 
to pitch in, even if it were just testing code in a lab after hours.
        Does anyone know anyone at Sun, or an admin at a university 
that uses Sun Solaris?
        Ryan
