As I said it ain't pretty...in fact rustic comes to mind. But I would
ike to have 3 or 4 identical machines to build the test bed on, and a
MAC of course.
Win2k3?
Linux (flavor of the day)
FreeBSD 5.x
MAC OS 10.3
Netware? I might be able to aquire a NFR copy for testing...
Of course we would need a few volunteers to come int one evening and
fire these things off.
Obviously this all depends on if you want to ry it here....
cheers,
m!
