randy ugrades ahead
randy, an SGI Indy, is awaiting a few upgrades:

randy is running IRIX-5.3 and the ISDN software
support still needs to be installed. A good opportunity to select
the
proper 5.3 variant from all those 5.3 CDROMs in my collection.
Also a good time to settle for one of the spare SCSI-2 disks as
extra disk for randy.
