I'll have a look, thanks. I think the only remainig problem is that I
don't have a terminal to go with the VAXen (I got them from a hardware
auction at our university, DM 21 for the two boxes, an NCD 19r
X-Terminal, two DEC-keyboards, a keyboard with a really strange looking
plug, 16 MB ram which were supposed to fit into the VAX but didn't, and
Microsoft Quick Pascal 1.0 ;-)). Does any of the Germans here know where
to get working VT* terminals?

Hmmm, I was planning to use SuSE 6.1's "rpc.nfsd". Do you know of any
problems with that one?
