- Our Computer Science department uses SPARCservers as servers for
- Suns and NeXTs with good success. They use NIS (Yellow Pages).

- Our College of Engineering has a number of Suns and HPs. They
- had all sorts of problems in the past using HPs as servers for
- Suns, and eventually gave up. They use Suns as servers for all
- their workstations nowadays. I would guess that if there were
- problems with Sun, there might be problems with NeXT.

- I don't know how recently they have reevaluated the incompatibilities
- between Sun's and HP's NFS.
