We had the Solaris 2.5.1 install disks from years ago. We installed the
Solaris=20
font server. It worked ok (mostly) but was unreliable enough that we
went back=20
to NFS mounting the font directory on Foxboro boxes.

We also have lots of terminals hosted from Solaris7&8 boxes font servers
without=20
any problems. So I put it down to the 2.5.1 fontserver.
