[rescue] SunOS 5.5.1 inaccessible

[Colin Prince]

Just to confirm:

SunOS 5.5.1 == Solaris 2.5.1 ?
Solaris 2.8 == Solaris 8 ?
Solaris 2.9 == Solaris 9 ?

Solaris 8 and 9 are available under license (maybe free) from sun.com, both 
are able to run on a SPARCStation-10, so that may be one route to go.

BTW Thank you (everybody) for your helpful responses.

Colin.
