        If someone has a standard "benchmark" NEC input deck that is
being used to quantify NEC performance on various platforms I can
run it on a dual processor 167MHz UltraSparc 2 machine to provide
another data point.

        (Also a stock 50MHz SparcServer 1000 and soon an
85MHz SuperSparc powered SparcServer 1000e)
