We don't have rtems mirrored yet.  The primary ftp site for rtems is 
still ftp.rtems.army.mil in /pub/alpha (for snapshots -- 3.5.17 is a very 
good snapshot) and /pub/rtems/releases (for more conservative people). :)

I can concur with Tony here.  We have heavily used the Solaris UNIX port 
to develop and test an application here.  The device drivers are 
different but 99.9% of non-device driver code is identical -- no 
conditional compilation directives.
