     However, anything to deal with CSuite on Solaris will be on that
list, so you should be on it.  Of particular importance is this one:

     CSuite 1.1 as shipped has many problems that prevents it from
running on Solaris.  I have finally gotten it to compile and install.
I have done some preliminary testing and have found that most things
work.  The biggest thing that I have found that doesn't work is tq
(Time Quota).  This is because it doesn't like tty names of the form,
/dev/pts/nn.  This problem would also affect the devpts feature in
Linux.

     Since, most things are working, I have setup a test server for
everybody to try.  It is a SparcStation 5 running Solaris 2.5.1.  It is
at jmn.bccna.bc.ca.  You can use telnet (login as guest), http, and
after you have an account, ftp and mail.  If you create an account for
yourself, let me know, and I'll activate it.  I do have patches on VTN
for the tq problems and will work on integrating them.  Note, that this
machine belongs to me personally, and I have other plans for it, so I
don't plan on leaving it available over the long term (probably not
much more then a couple of weeks); however, I would like to have as
much stuff tested as possible.
