There is a lot more hardware to an ESS than just the computer, though. The 3B20D does run a release of the UNIX system, called UNIX/RTR (for Real-Time Reliable) which is planned (I think) to be upgraded to SVID compatability some time. The 3B20D and UNIX/RTR are not generally available except to RBOCs (Regional Bell Operating Companies, the "baby bells"). That's about all I know, as I'm not in the switching area. -- Ron Heiby heiby@cuae2.ATT.COM Moderator: mod.newprod & mod.os.unix AT&T-IS, /app/eng, Lisle, IL (312) 810-6109 "Hay una mujer desaparecida...."
