Hi
Just to supplement Peter's reply the NCSA site is
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/Overview.html
very comprehensive instructions, pretty straightforward
but you'd better contact off-peak, it can be slow (esp.
to download the software)

IRIX 5.3 - SGI Indy binaries are at:
ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/httpd/Unix/ncsa_httpd/httpd_1.5/httpd_1.5a-export_sunos4.1.3.tar.Z
