Anybody know if we can somehow "trade in" our Interactive UNIX for
ESIX??  

While I was very pleased with 2.0.2's performance, I have to say
that Interactive's lack of customer support, high upgrade prices
and serialization policy will start driving developers away.

I've been looking at the ESIX revision D product for awhile,
and although it appears to require more system memory than Interactive,
it looks very solid.  (Plus you get X windows!!)

Aside from the lack of VPIX, what else is the ESIX package
missing in comparison to Interactive?
