Dept. here at maryland (where I work) has an MV/10000 that DG has been trying to get DG/UX running on for the past 6 months.

Not so good for an O.S. out for 1.5-2 years. -mark -- Spoken: Mark Weiser ARPA: mark@maryland Phone: +1-301-454-7817 CSNet: mark@umcp-cs UUCP: {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!mark USPS: Computer Science Dept., University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
