I, too, have been intrigued by Coherent - and I want to find out more.
My skeptical side says, "there has to be something missing."

From previous posts, I understand that full 386 support is not yet
available (no virtual memory and other limitations). TCP/IP support is
also yet to come, though this is less important to me now. What about
UUCP? HDB?

I'd love to play around with it at home, but I don't want to give up my
DOS environment yet that I (shamefully admit) rely so heavily on.  Can
Coherent and DOS co-reside, such that the system can be booted under
either?  Is anybody looking into a DOS-on-UNIX product for Coherent?

Thanks for all input.
