That's true.  Only the server *supports* spooled peripherals.  Spooling
to a diskless cnode has been configured locally; I believe remsh was used
to do the dirty work.  Note that support implies 'clean'.  Our approach may
not be 'clean', but gets the job done.

To get nfs, you need at least 6.0.  To get 6.0, you need at least an 80Mb disk.
It's probably too costly to upgrade the 310 to be a useful member of this
network.  Also, 6.5 is the last HP-UX release to support 310's.  You might
look into a trade-in instead.
