Both.

I have not tried SVR3.2.2 on the same EXACT hardware, so I guess the answer
is no.  And I'm not about to try it right now either since I would have to
install SVR3.2.2 and reinstall all 70 + diskettes of SVR4 afterwards!!
GAAWWDD! :) :) :)

At this point, I really want to find out whether it *should* work.  Then I 
can start messing with the hardware.  The UHC tech support people said that
the problem is in the OS and not in my hardware ... I need to verify whether
this is true or not.  So if someone out there has succeeded in getting
outbound (cu) to work with either Dell's or UHC's i386 SVR4, I would *really*
like to hear from them!
