We got some new Suns and some uVAXes here at our institute. Lately
someone tried to talk to a uVAX from a Sun and his partner got the
message:
    Address family not supported by protocol family
on the uVAX. When we tried it the other way round, that is the talk
was initiated by the uVAX all worked well. I think, this may be due to
a different byte ordering between Sun and uVAX, which is handled by
the Sun, but not by the uVAX.
If I'm right and someone has already solved this problem, can you
please drop me a mail.

Thanks in advance
