We may have to acquire some of these machines and currently all I have to go on is the BSTJ issue. Asside from general ideas of "how good is it", some specific questions that come to mind include; 1) How does the 3BXXX compare to Vaxen especially the 11/780 and 11/785? Is it faster/slower, more or less reliable etc. 2) What kind of shape is the network support in? 3) Are there any plans to port 4.3BSD to the 3BXXX hardware? 4) What kind of configurations make sense to run UNIX on? 5) What experience people outside AT&T (if there are any) have had with maintenance and repair? Thanx in advance for the info and if response warrants I will summarize to unix-wizzards. Jim Houser (jim@tycho) -------
