Well I have a cluster of misc machines and 8 HPPA boxes, the problems
is that they are all 715/33's, so adding them to the mix is not yet

As far as RSH goes, have you tried to use SSH as a transparent
standin(sometimes you need to replace rsh with 'ssh -x' for everything
to be happy.  I use LAM instead of MPICH, but replacing rsh for me is
as simple as a configure-time selection.
