I consider SCO to be notably more solid than either of the others. SCO is not quite as fast for some applications, and the C2 security will get in the way and make some system administration a bit more dificult, but I would think of it first if I were doing an application like that. I would also have a backup daemon running on any system to write critical appointment, billing, and diagnosis info out *right now* to a media like tape (or floppy if the volume is low enough). Also off-site storage of duplicate tapes is a good idea, to protect against against legal problems, if nothing else. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
