At my work location we have a multitude of LSI-11/23s and 11/73s. We are 
slowly convincing management that we wish to move into the Unix world. Costs
for MVIIs being what they are, we cannot afford one at this time. Ultrix-11,
or for that matter any decent Unix variant, may be what we need right now.

We would like to know the following:

	1> The last software description of Ultrix-11 we have says it is a
Version 7 descendent. Fact or fiction, and how does this effect later
migration to Ultrix-32.

	2> Following up to 1, what problems have been encountered moving
to other Unixs?

	3> How good (or bad) is system performance? We are an RSX shop, so
if you could relate the two it would be nice.

	4> We assume that a C compiler is included in the package. True/false?
What else is supplied/available? F77?

	5> Is the Ultrix DECnet product available on these machines?

	6> Cost.

	7> Prospects for future support. We don't want something that
will fade away in the near future.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
