Yes, I changed the implementation of some Sun RPC commands:
* sunrpc.c (SunrpcMount, SunrpcExports):
Use a TCP connection to query the mount daemon. This
allows to retrieve very large results.
This change was necessary to retrieve long mount/export lists. Now
back to Ultrix. The only Ultrix version I get access to runs ULTRIX
V4.4 (Rev. 69) and it even has clnt_create() in libc.a. Can you please
check what you have on your box, e.g. run the /bin/sh script
for f in /usr/lib/lib*.a ; do
echo "$f:"
nm $f | grep clnt.*create
done
and send me the output. There must be a function to create a RPC
client handle because Ultirx obviously has clnt_call().

We switched to use a binary format to reduce loading times. And I
guess there will be more machine dependend stuff in the future as
dynamic loading looks very attractive now. I could change the
installation procedure to put all the machine dependend stuff in a
machine dependend subdirectory. (I am still hoping that John
Ousterhout will come up with a good installation scheme which we all
can adopt - we will have to wait and see.)

There should not be any size restrictions. However, the remote tkined
code was a quick hack to see if something like this works but I am not
very happy with the implementation. So there might be bugs. I hope
that there will be a better solution once I have time to rewrite
Tkined as a client server application.
