Just thought I should respond to your posting.  One of your
correspondents says he(she) has had very bad experiences with
Interactive Systems.  I can only say that my experiences have been
quite the opposite.  A real human being answers the phone very
quickly, and this person almost always has an answer.  If they don't
have an answer, they DO get back to you, invariably.  I have been
working with Interactive for about 2 years now.

Possibly this depends partly on the area of the country in which you
are.  I am in New York, and my support is from the office in New
Hampshire.  This part (I don't know how large a part it is) has
recently broken away and formed its own company called "Multi-User
Systems", which makes me think that something unusual may have been
happening there.

For the record, I have been selling Interactive Unix as well, so
perhaps I'm an interested party.  But I will say that their support is
a major reason why I have continued to work with them.

You can quote me on this if you want, with or without my name.
