Nope it isn't.
The Guinness Book refused to list it, citing some very weak stuff about it being to specific. I see more merit in having 9 adjourments (lazy, dictionary, what's that !?) listed, then having the smallest one bedroom hotel listed.
The problem is not on your end, it's on SecurityFocus's end. I've been having the same problems for a couple of months now, and in spite of assurances from "Dan Bertrand" "Senior IT Manager, Symantec Corporation", it hasn't stopped. He cited either a firewall issue (they don't operate it themselves anymore) or a bandwith issue. I don't buy either of them, I think it's their postfix + DNS setup. Somehow postfix is fed info that your domain does exist, but that there a no valid MX (or A ?) records. If there was a firewall issue, their resolvers should timeout, and their mailsetup should requeue.
Ireland *is* part of the Euro-Zone !

The Euro

Ahem, Ireland is part of the Euro Zone...
The UK was EuroSceptic and opted out. But the attitude seems to be changing...
The countries partaking in the Euro:
10Gb/s is something which even the 12xxx series can't handle properly.
I've seen a *controlled* *test* setup where around 3.5Gb/s was inserted into a 12000, then was router over DWDM-fiber (tested upto 90Gb/s by the supplier) and went through 4 12000's in total (infrastructure guaranteed at 80 Gb/s) and it came out at a mere 2.6Gb/s. The loss occurred at *every* 12000 series router. And that network is supposed to be at 80Gb/s backbone capacity in roughly two years.
If those Cisco's loose that much traffic at *sub*-10Gb/s speeds, I don't even want to know what happens at 80Gb/s.
Overall, I think the big difference between Cisco and for example Foundry is that Cisco is betting on the *software*, where as Foundry is doing all their stuff in specially designed ASIC's... But then again, our BigIron 8000 won't be capable of routing IPv6 at wirespeed, because we'd need a new backplane. Cisco's: just upgrade the IOS; but in the end a Cisco is just a very powerfull computer, with some help from ASIC's, but it all boils down to their CPU and bus-structure and interface-cards...
In the 12000 series a slot can hold 1 (one!) 10Gb/s card or a card with 3 (three) 1Gb/s interfaces... Anyone doning the math ?
that's rather unlikely.
The SGI systems have a rather different target market. SUN is targeting commercial customers. SGI's Origin and Onyx lines are targeted at a bit more scientific uses.
For example the O3800 Erik is talking about is used for scientific research. Apart from stability, speed and performance are where the Origin and Onyx systems *excel*.
For example, the "CAVE" system is powered by a bunch of Onyx2 boxes: http://www.sara.nl/Customer/vr_nieuw/facilities/ca ve/index.html
Also, if I remember correctly a lot of US government agencies also employ SGI/Cray systems in favor of SUN/HP...
The reason SGI isn't porting IRIX to IA64 or any other chip is because IRIX is bound to Mips... it would probably require more effort to port IRIX than it would to integrate IRIX technologies into Linux (XFS, etc).
Ehm... The Origin 3000 series was originally designed for the IA64, but when that got delayed they had to fit it with R14K processors... You can verify, that the O3000 series have these tiny copper strips at the back for things that look like VGA-connectors...
BUT: porting to an IA64 in a special SGI mainboard (if you can call it that anyway...) is something different from porting to an IA64 in a standard Intel mainboard...
hm... at my work (CWI) we used to use (and still have) NTrigue from Insignia. We use it to have people on SGI's and SUN's log in to our NTrigue server, where they are able to run NT 3.5 apps... MicroSoft stopped the development by Insignia, so unfortunately there is no NT4 version:(
When you run NTtrigue you get your own dedicated NT display, unlike VNC...

How about looking a bit closer ? Now where do I know '/pub' from... ftp://public.planetmirror.com/pub/ancient-unix/ is a much nicer way to download ;)

It just all depends ;)

I also struggled with TeraTerm.
why don't you check out 'PuTTY' it's a telnet/ssh/raw client:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.u k/~sgtatham/putty/
it works great !
(plus it has basic xterm mouse-handling !!! so you can just cut'n'paste between Windows and the terminal with your mouse-buttons !!!)
