Good to hear everything worked well!  Is there anything in the doco you
would change after your experiences?

If you are using the -current snapshot, "rcons" is what you want.
For 1.4.1 and the 1.4.2 release, "sun" should work.

Andy - did we get "rcons" pulled up on the 1.4 branch?  Do you wanna
take care of it if it's not done?

Look at the NetBSD package system.  There's some precompiled binaries
for 1.4.1 in ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.4.1/pmax.  These
will work with 1.4.1, the 1.4.2 snapshot and -current.
