A/UX and Sun's RPC

[Dan Kegel]

I recently asked whether A/UX supports Sun's Remote Execution daemon.
According to hoptoad.UUCP!gnu at cgl.ucsf.edu (John Gilmore),
>  Rexd is not anywhere in the A/UX release, and attempts from our Sun
>  to say "on grass date" say "on: cannot connect to server on grass"

So the answer is, unfortunately, no.  
This is surprizing, considering that network computing is becoming important
in engineering workstations, one of the markets A/UX is targetted at.

Can anyone comment on Apple's present or planned support for network computing?
Will they provide a toolkit for the Remote Procedure Call system (upon which 
NFS, Remote Execution, and several other services are based)?
Enquiring minds want to know :-)
