CMUIP doesn't have working NFS, and it's been my experience that the FTP
included with it is less than stellar. Although I believe that there are
free FTP replacements available for it.
As I mentioned in a earlier post today, the word is that they're getting
ready to add some stuff to the hobbiest program, including possibly support
for some Alpha systems. I saw a post on USENET afterwards to the effect of
check
http://www.montagar.com at the beginning of next month. I didn't
recognize the poster, however, he had a Compaq e-mail address. Of course
at this moment this is nothing but a rumor, but there have been rumblings
about this for a couple of months now.
Personally I'd like to see OpenVMS (VAX/Alpha), NAS-150, Motif, and the
languages at a minimum made available for hobbiests. Let's face it, they
need as many people as possible running the stuff.
