Well, for starters, the Andrew zephyr code, in it's current incarnation,
will compile (with cc or gcc, you choose) on a Sun 3. You install it
and....
zwgc exposes you and then just hangs. You get no zephyrs that are sent to you.
The stock Athena version, however, works fine for me, but I'm not using
it interrealm (yet).
