I just tried running an application between the Paragon and the CM-5, without
much luck. I started pvmd3 from the Pgon. The daemon was successfully started
on the CM-5 also. My Pgon program however got hung when it tried to launch a process
on the CM-5. A 'ps -xl' on the CM-5 only showed pvmd3, so the other process
obviously doesn't get started their. Anyone have any luck with this?
