|I have no information on Ultrix 4.2, but we are still waiting for

Personally, I'm still trying to get answers to either of those delivery
date estimate questions.  What I seem to be finding is that I can get
a lot of discussion about things until I ask "when?"  :-)

So, a second call for release estimates: What's the approximate, hopeful,
if all goes really really well, estimated quarter of release for Ultrix
4.2?  Is there any estimates set for it at all?
