The parts of 32V that aren't in BNR2 and won't be in 4.4BSD-lite include all the low-level VAX support. A lot of it is quite intense and I don't think a "free" implementation of them will ever be produced. A 750 is so much slower than a 486 that you just have to ask, "why bother?" -- Paul Vixie Redwood City, CA <paul@vix.com> decwrl!vixie!paul
