I filled out the card, and when it didn't seem likely to arrive soon, 
I called my local office and asked them to expedite it (I have a 
window for upgrade on our main system of one week a year, between 
Christmas & new years).

The people I spoke with were quick to point out that you don't buy 
much over Solaris 1.1.1_U1 except to have a kernel for new HyperSparc 
machines.  Notably, I was told that it doesn't have the patches integrated 
into it, just along in a subdirectory on the CDROM.

So unless you've got HyperSparc, it sounds like you don't need to 
worry excessively about it.
