	And what do you do when you want to add something?  Such as
	a second disk controller (not supported), or a multiport
	board.  If they are not AT&T (and they don't have much),
	they are not supported.  You cannot get support for your
	UNIX if it is not running on an AT&T box with AT&T hardware.
	And most VARS know less about the system than you do.
