Hey Charles!

 CB> then i go back to good ol' laplink and a parallel cable or if
 CB> it's from my main pc, a serial cable.

plip and slip.  Just like mom used to make.

 CB> SCO Xenix running on a compaq deskpro 386

An alpha would have been more impressive methinks ... mind you compaq bought
them out ... just before they got bought out by hp.  So much for that idea.

 CB> at the time i never got on with solaris

You and many, many others.  My excuse is there wasn't a choice as the sparc's
came preloaded with solaris and it was never my dime.  On the plus side I
learned c while I was at it.  Before that it was f77 on vax/vms.  I haven't
done fortran since moving to linux despite the fact the plan was to port some
f77 source using g77 installed on a 486.  Back then Slackware 3.
omething.or.other was the clear winner.  32-bit pci cards were just starting
to make an appearance then.

Life is good,
Maurice
