i have a Belkin adapter that does 13w3-db15 as well as sun keyboard/mouse to
ps2 keyboard and mouse.  but i don't know if it'll work in that direction, i
think it's to put a PC keyboard/mouse/monitor on an older sun.

i'm going to look at that when i get a chance.  i'm going to build mutt as an
acid test and see how i do.

i don't know.  where would i look for MIPSpro?  also, i only see gcc-3 on
freeware.sgi.com.  i don't really want 3 do i?  i probably want 2.95.3, but
where do i get binaries?  or should i build 2.95.3 with 3?

that's a thought.
