access to HPUX 1100 on N-server

Gentlemen and/or Ladies;

  I note that you haven't any access to a bleeding edge (I use the term 
advisedly) HP system.

  I have a brand-spankin' new HP 9000 model N4000 with an unlimited-user 
license.  Unfortunately, I obliterated my budget buying the damn thing, and I 
didn't realize I'd have to buy an ANSI C development environment in order to 
get a functional C compiler.  The so-called "bundled" C compiler used for the 
kernel compiles is a total piece of crap.

  Currently only myself and my closest co-workers have access to the box.  I 
personally also have access to the corporate firewall's configuration....  and 
thus I can sneak you in if you're willing to work nights (nights EST - if you're in 
Australia that's normal working hours).  No need for the suits to know!

  Would it be any benefit to your project to get telnet or dial-in access to my 
system?  It would obviously benefit me to have a working gcc installed by the 
ubergurus, and I'm sure there are others out there who'd like to get a binary 
depot!

  I have the gcc binaries from Nov. 1 loaded, but there are problems with the 
HP header files and compiling samba, for example, generates an astounding 
number of non-fatal errors.  Ncurses does not compile at all.

  Let me know ASAP if you want in, because I don't know how long I can keep 
this machine out of production without hosing the company.
