Wow! Where did you get that blast from the past? We had a network of Sun 3's when I worked at Comsat (89-92). We'd log in via telnet (from terminals attached to terminal servers, or from Mac II's) and share them (three or four users per Sun), and we'd run cross-compiles (easy to do since our embedded target machines were 68000 based). Those were the "good old days", when SunOS was SunOS (not Solaris). :-)


In other Sun news, I'm considering picking up an Ultra 5 (my favorite used Sun site, RetroBox, has some for $50 ... well, with probably another $50 for shipping). If so, I'll want to get rid of one of my Ultra 1's. Interested in it? I currently have Solaris 7 on it, it's got 256MB RAM and I think only 2GB of HD... oh yeah, and a noisy CPU fan. Then again, you should check out retrobox.com yourself. They have Suns and other things (lots of PCs, an occasional SGI or Alpha, etc.).
