Ten minutes with google has failed to turn up any answers, so I ask here:
Has uox3 ever been compiled to run on a sparc system, and is the codebase available? Barring that, is anyone aware of -any- UO emulator that supports sparc?

I have zero knowledge about sparc systems and how they work, so I don't even know if it's theoretically possible to compile UOX3 to run on one - but I did find a "source rpm" seemingly for sparc on
this page.
Note: I have no idea whether it contains real UOX3 code, nor if it will actually compile for sparc if does. Should it by random chance actually be a sparc-compilable UOX3-code, it's still a very old version and I'm not sure which client and encryption-removal program you'd have to use to be able to connect to a server running it.

Also.. You don't mention the OS you are using..
Sparc systems usually run Solaris, one of the BSDs or even Linux..
Supplying this info would be greatly helpful.
