I fixed the problems with Sinix by replacing it with Linux on my RM200 :-)
The box was borrowed by SNI and so I dare to hope that we'll also get other
SNI MIPS machines from them to put Linux on them.

(Are you shure that the MX400 has a MIPS processor? That's would be the
third processor series (NS32000, i386, MIPS) that the use for the MX series.
Yuck. But otherwise you're right with your opinion about SINIX. I sometimes
have to use an ancient MX2 and no doubt - most horrible UNIX ever. A short

Yes, hard/software are ok and correctly installed but though the
resolver fails, the machine needs proxy ARP, telnetd and rlogind crash ...
Yes, they dared to sell it ...)
