I am looking to purchase some equipment in the near future and would like to know if this really works between different vendors equipment. Specifically, can I start up the Mathematica front-end on a NeXT machine and run the kernel remotely via TCP/IP ethernet on a SGI IRIS 4D? The 4D machines should be MANY times faster than the NeXT at running the kernel, especially for the operations that use hardware floating-point. Thanks for any info.... -- John D.
