Yep, I have just recently.  It seems to work ok.  You might want to check and
make sure that pvm is installed in ~/pvm3 (stupid, I know, but that's the way
it is).  Also make sure that you can rsh to and from the machine from your
other machines on the net without a password. (i.e. are trusted for your
account)

I have a problem on Solaris 2.5 with killing pvm spawned processes from
another architecture.  Anybody have any ideas about that problem.  We have
HP's and Suns and usually do most of the development on the HP.

Also, it seems that xpvm does works strangely.  For example, it closes its
window at the most inappropriate time.  Any information would be appreciated.
