It depends on what release you're running. I forgot that on a previous
release of HP-UX, the server would report that the 98544 was an eight
plane device (please don't ask me why). This was fixed in HP-UX 6.5
I believe. I am not familiar with the MIT stuff, so I can't tell you
if or when it was fixed there.
