  If I were doing this, I don't think I'd mention it in public.
MultiTech has an upgrade/swap policy which is just over the cost of the
ROMs. Microsoft offers no cost upgrades for 90 days after you buy a
software product. SCO will supply bug fixes (not upgrades) for at least
a year on Xenix.

  I can see a charge for the upgrade to the uucp ROMS, since that is an
added feature, but $99 to fix a problem with interactive usage??

  There is something distasteful about getting a free fix from SCO to
have my 18 month old Xenix work with Trailblazer, and paying a hundred
dollars to make a 90 day old Trailblazer work (in interactive mode) with
Xenix.
