After having gone through problems with 386 machines running Microport and Interactive Unix Sys V, we can truthfully say, that phone support is a neccesity. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to install or update a Unix OS without the option to call up the vendor and bitch and try to get some answers. Unix isn't something that you just dump on the market and say RTFM. Dealer support is OK, but actual support direct from CBM is best. -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.
