I wish I could help with internet access for a Pyramid, but my employers
would never let me do that.  What exactly do you mean by a "modern Pyramid"?
If you mean a MIPS-based MIServer T-series, that will do most of us Pyramid
users no good.  Why are 90x machines inappropriate?  All Pyramid computers
EXCEPT the MIServer T-series share the same processor.  If you can get GCC
version 2 to run on a 90x, I can use it on my 9805.  Might you be referring
to the operating system rather than the machine?  An incredibly large number
of Pyramid computers are running very old versions of OSx, the operating
system.  As I stated in my original post, you have different problems running
G++ depending on what version of OSx you have.  G++ currently can only be
run on old versions of OSx (sigh).

stdargs/varargs was patched to get G++ to run on old versions of OSx.  I don't
have an old version of OSx.  Now the @#$% linker won't work.

Maybe not to you, but frankly, I am too dumb to do it.  It is beyond my
abilities to do it.  Brain surgery is not hard for brain surgeons to do
either.  Even though you mean well, saying it is not hard to do doesn't help
me get it done.  Thanks for responding anyway.
