I finally got all the bugs worked out and have my new (to me at least) 
Sunfire V100 up and running. You can see it here: 
http://costello.mine.nu/private/mysun.html . The picture shows the old 
SS20 still up but it is now down (but not out). The biggest challenge 
was getting sendmail running correctly. It runs my personal web site, 
home mail server, DHCP server, and an occassional FTP server. The 
routing duties are now handled by my Linksys wireless switch / router. 
The Linksys box could handle the DHCP service but it does not have the 
flexibility to assign specific address like can be done with Solaris. 
BTW, the DHCP in solaris 9 is way different than Solaris 2.6 so that had 
a bit of a learning curve. Since the last system I build from scratch 
was something like 7 years ago, my admin skills were ( and still are) 
pretty rusty. Thanks to all who provided support and advice.
