TOPS is a Sun product, and the person to talk to for sales to educational
institutions is Beverly Miranda (800-445-8677).  

We are currently investigating LAN systems for our administrative
staff, and TOPS is under consideration.   One of the big drawbacks of TOPS
for us is that no one on campus has experience with it and local
Sun staff are unfamiliar with it.  Does anyone on the net have
experience in successfully installing and running a TOPS network?
What do you think about trying to do this without local support?
