DTK imports products abd assembles PCs. The mother boards, and other system
components are their own brand. Don't use DTK as a Novell file server, but
as a standard MS-DOS system it'll work great.

Phoenix and Award have BIOS products. DTK has their own BIOS. IMHO, I would not
want to be mentioned with Phoenix as synonymous. If you can stick with the 
Award. However, DTK will supply DTK BIOS. (Phoenix and Award do not produce 
PC compatibles.)
