If you want problems with your hard disk not booting or even seeing the
partition when the power goes out - then by all means install ISC.  If you
want some of the worst support in the industry from the support crew in
Hollis, then again - install ISC.  If you want doggie throughput on the 
serial lines - then again ISC is the answer.

If on the other hand - you want a solid, supported product with a fail
safe file system - and VP/ix that does run DOS applications - I would suggest

SCO.

I've been in both shoes and would suggest SCO to EVERYONE over ISC.

And I'm not the only one who feels this way.
