There are two Solaris Sparc SunOS boxes working on skynet. There was an intel Solaris box, but it broke during a power failure. > At one point t2.math.washington.edu was in > use for this, but it seems to have been unavailable for some while. True -- it uses a lot of power (so had to be off the last month), and stopped working anyways when our file server failed.

Anybody with a skynet account could in theory test this...
