The Courier RPC package from the people at Cornell works well on Suns and
Vaxen (having written a few applications myself).  It produces C stubs so
you may have troubles with your Lisp or Prolog applications.

Another glich is the XNS protocol support.  This is standard in the 4.3
kernel and 4.2 with Maryland XNS for Vaxen.  The Sun OS package with XNS
support is available from Sun as a Sun Consulting Product and costs $$$.

I have not heard of Courier supported by lower level protocols other than
spp on top of xns.

BCNU,
