Right, I'm running NetBSD-1.2, with as many COMPAT_ lines as I could find in
the kernel. I have a program I would like to be able to run, BackExec from
Arcadia software, it supports the following platforms:

agent.aix
agent.hpux
agent.isc
agent.sco
agent.sol_x86
agent.solaris
agent.sunos
agent.uware

However, the only ones I don't get "Exec format error" on are isc and uware, 
although uware just spit out some terrible garbage :)

isc seems the most promising, except it fails on:

NRLInitialize: t_open /dev/tcp failed. t_errno=8
errno = 2

So, looking at SVR4's MAKEDEV (I just happen to notice it) I tested making
a /dev/tcp mknod with parameter 43 and 35 (Like SVR4 in hope) but that 
didn't do much difference.

So, now, can anyone tell me what I need to possibly get one of these
clients to run?

Thanks for any reply,
