=No. even if you could - why would you want to?

Because AT&T is so expensive!

He won't get any support anyway unless he's running all that good
software on an AT&T computer!

=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.

Any timetable available?
