Nope, it is not possible to Athenize this machine.
It is possible that you can install vanilla Solaris or SunOS and
install some athena services on top of that, but that's not something
we can help you with. You probably don't want to try this unless
you're a reasonably experienced UNIX sysadmin . There are some
unsupported tools that may make this a little easier. You can try
looking at ftp://net-dist/installkits/sunos-4.1x/beta/wrapper.client,
but it doens't come with any guarantees or help.
