Since we are heavily invested in 9000/200's, most of our machines are stranded from HPUX 6.0. To solve this, we are in the process of getting things together enought to switch most of the machines over to the 4.3 distributions out of Berkeley and Utah. We have been running the 4.3 on a 9836 here for a couple of months. It has some bugs in it, but it is mostly usable. Since we have to maintain seperate versions anyway (we can upgrade them all to 6.0) it looks more cost effective for us to switch to 4.3 and in general dump HPUX. johns ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- .
