No. even if you could - why would you want to? You would get NO SUPPORT
from ANY vendor with such a "hybrid" system. You'd be setting yourself up
(not to mention the bad rap the vendors would have when problems CAN'T
be resolved on your "one-of-a-kind" system).

Yes, AT&T has licenced a few other companies, NCR (now an AT&T Company),
Bull and Olivetti in Europe and of course Pyramid. You need to use the 
ports of SYS5R4 from each of these vendors for there ports of SG/LMX.

AT&T's SG/LMX is now the "offical" LMX port (joint AT&T/Microsoft announce-
ment a few weeks ago). All current LMX vendors will be migrating to the
AT&T base code - including HP (the "other" LMX). This will result
in there being only one base LMX port - AT&T's.
