In dealing with Sequent in the past few weeks, I did receive a little
information. There will be at least one new release of Dynix 3, specifically
3.1. Dynix/ptx will go to SysVR4 around the end of this year, and Dynix 3
may not be continued. Dynix/ptx is the only OS supported on the low-end
S2000/200.

I don't remember all the specifics, but I know 3.1 will support disk quotas.

Not sure about NFS. Forgot to ask.
