Getting back to the original subject, would anyone from Sequent care to
comment WHEN a more up to date Berkeley release will be made available?

Same question for NFS (under Dynix, not ptx).

If Sequent does not have a commitment to support a Berkeley environment in
a reasonable way, I will start recommending that we cut our losses and move
to another vendor.
