I can give you all the resources that you need.  Solaris 8 servers.  Solaris
10 servers.  With Studio 8 and Studio 10 and Studio 11 compilers and on
UltraSparc, Intel and on AMD technology.  Old and new.  I have it all here.

So feel free to send me a SSH public key and I'll get you access in a flash.

I will need to verify your identity in some manner also.  I'll take that
discussion into private emails.
