- BZZZT! I've gotten BSD->SysV and SysV->BSD gateways to work just fine.
- I have to. I use SGI hardware. BTW, SGI does document the BSD stuff; it's
- "not supported" but there's a FAX you can get from the TAC (800-800-4SGI)
- which explains how to set it up, with the obligatory warning that it's
- not supported. It's a pain to set up; once it works, you just use it.
