I am looking to buy a machine for expert system development in an
corporate environment.

A LISP machine may not be appropriate and hence I was considering an
UNIX workstation which could run a good LISP environment and a decent
shell.

I would like some recommendations on which machine to buy. The budget is
going to be around $20,000.

What are your opinions regarding the SUN 386i ?? I a considering this one actively.


Please post the replies on the net, or EVEN BETTER EMAIL DIRECTLY at:

or

Thanks a lot.
