Unfortunately, for Alpha Linux, there is only the "professional"
version for ¤2649, which is somewhat more than I would be willing to
pay.

BTW, I meanwhile tried it on i386, and it seems to work mostly:

Mathematica 3.0 for Linux
Copyright 1988-96 Wolfram Research, Inc.
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 82
yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Function not implemented
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 82
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 82
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 82

huh? 82 seems to be "select", which really should be implemented...
And the yp_match messge seems to come from the binary itself (probably
from the statically linked libc in it). I hope to be able to have a
closer look at this later...
