The PA-RISC boxes (700 lines in particular) only run HPUX, the HPBSD
or the mach thingy.  Nothing else exists for them, yet.  NetBSD
and Linux are working on ports, if I am reading the buzz correctly.
But, nothing is working yet on either.  That is why I was inquiring
about the HPBSD.  The HPBSD supposedly was a little better than the
mach lites port, but required the licensing.  Now that the licensing
is essentially free from SCO/Caldera, I thought I should inquire about
the real BSD thingy.  I sense that it was running on so few machines
(maybe less than 10 at Utah), that it may have become vaporware.
