	We have been pushed into a situation where we have to
	consider the new IBM RT (w. AISYS4.2) for a serious
	un*x box purchase, along with un*x boxen from other
	vendors. [For example, from SUN, we are considering
	a 280 + lotsa mem + lotsa disk...]

	I would therefore appreciate some objective reviews,
	comments, benhmark results etc. from those who have
	access to a new RT with AISYS4.2, and also has access
	to other powerful un*x boxen, such as SUNs, Pyramids,
	Sequents, Hps, whatever.

	I would especially appreciate as much detail in your
	comments/reviews/etc. simply because we do not have
	access to this machine: all IBM Canada could provide
	is an OLD RT (gag!).

	Any comments etc. on IBM's response/support level for
	the hardware/software is also appreciated.

	thnx..	oz
