IGNORANCE ALARM (claiming it for myself, not accusing you of it) - I
know in the Solaris world anyway that most non-Sun hardware won't work
on an UltraSPARC.  I haven't played with Linux on SPARC enough yet to
know if I can just slap a cheap-o SMC ethernet card in there and have it
work the way it does on x86.  I'm learning the hard way to not take for
granted that things will run under Linux/SPARC as easily as they do
under Linux/x86.

Worst case, I'll just have to pack my OpenBSD firewall.  ;-)

Wish me luck.  I'm about to go ask my financial advisor for $200 to
spend on computer parts (including a CD-R to put in the Ultra 5 plus
some blank media).
