I also have a need to know what fault tolerant hardware is
available. Are there any real differences as far as reliability
and cost of ownership between a fault tolerant box (ie. IBM 
system 88) and a fault tolerant system (ie. DEC Vax equipment 
with Vax-cluster)? What are the gotcha's and trade-offs?
