I am using PRODUCTION servers at the moment (standard Ultrix 4.1) which have
excellent implementations DPS & PEX. Just looking at that puts it ahead of
anybody elses! There are ample number of calls in the protocol of dps & pex
to allow you to see what has been implemented and not. Write a program
to do this and get machines of any vendor to do the comparison and bring
up program -display host:0. If you're very lucky, the vendor will have the
extension; take a look at the what it implements & not...
