Doesnt work... sounds to me like you were lucky.. when I tried named pipes on our Sun 386i (SUN OS 4.0.1) which has space mounted from our Vaxstation II, (Ultrix 3.0) the Vaxstation took a leap off of the deep end. Messages on the console were something on the order of... Segmentation Fault... Stack dump follows.... Saving kernal.... Rebooting... It managed to do this twice before I shut off the 386i.. it still had a cat running into the FIFO. yes, i can repeat it any time... so can our 386i users. :( -- look.... even a test signature.....
