Yes, I worked at an early ISP and SunOS was popular for "shell" servers. The users did not want Solaris 2.x, mainly because open source software was tough to compile on it. SunOS 4.x was basically the standard open source target at that point (early to mid 90's.)
Solaris was pretty bad up until the >2.5 days. 2.5.1 and above were pretty solid releases. I ran 2.5.1 and 2.6 on my personal desktop (Sparc 10) for a while.
