A side note:

In using hp9000s500, hp9000s800, etc, you have to be careful about using
them in your .cshrc (or whatever). I had my .cshrc/.login doing checking
of machine type & doing different things on different machines. The
trouble was that the script's invocation would cause a new csh to be
spawned (wait, I see an infinite loop coming...) which in turn ran my
.cshrc. This makes for a very long login time. I ended up putting the
hp9000s500 check in my .login and setting a variable that I checked the
value of instead of running hp9000s500 directly.
