We are about to purchase a machine to do development on.  I recently posted
a request for opinions, but got no response.  Perhaps I asked too general a
set of questions.  Here is another try.

Our application is basically as follows:

Someone dials our machine and uploads a file to us, we use an outgoing line to
download a file from another machine, then we download a response to the
party that called originally, after running the whole mess through various
formulas; we expect five to ten dial-in and two or three dial-out lines and
two to three terminals.

Should I care whether the machine comes with XENIX, BSD 4.2, UNIX Sys. V, or
Ultrix?  What are the advantages/disadvantages of each with regard to our
type of application?
