Chris is the right one to ask about this. I believe we do
have something that will split a Sun serial port to multiple
ports, as you asked. In any event, we only have 9 Sharp units and
I believe there are 9 Sun/SGIs in the GVU lab anyway.

I assume you were referring to me in the above statement. Since we
have Greg Brown on the team, better to refer to me as Gregory to reduce
confusion. And I will probably refer to Chris Goodrum as grendel (his
cc account name).
