However, with the 4D's SGI has done quite a good job. We are heavily networked with yellow pages on our Suns, lots of cross mounted filesystems (w/suns and vaxen), and X all over. All the important network functionality is avaialable and seems solid. (Better in some ways than SunOS 4.0.3 whose nslookup dumps core on our Sun-3's. :-|) The only thing I miss is MX mail forwarding in sendmail. Sure would be nice though. SGI listening? (Actually, maybe it's already there. IRIX's nslookup(1) has been able to get MX forwarding info for at least a couple releases. If it is, would someone send me the necessary sendmail.cf magic?)
