I am trying to find one for ESIX (ENIX??) or ANY sysV strain and am getting the usual runaround. I would really prefer Merge to Vpix as many of the problems Iv'e seen related to vpix donot occur on Merge with Uport /386 3.0E . I would like to upgrade to SYSV 386/3.2 But want to keep merge. Any help appreciated. Every absurdity has a champion to defend it. raw@ushiva.ncoast.org uunet!hal.cwru.edu!ncoast!ushiva!raw 6203 Luther Cleve Oh 44103 Roland A.
