Aside from getting answers from the Answer Center, probably not!  In fact,
if all you are doing is getting the contracts for UPGRADES -- don't
bother!  4.1.1 is the last 4.x release.  The next release will be SVR4 --
and the customer ship date on that is LATE '91 (Oct/Nov-ish).  You'd be
wasting a year's worth of support bucks -- when you can simply buy it
then! 

Spent the money on network connections...:-)
