	Sun distributes Lucid common lisp; I have been using it and
it's pretty good; has a good foreign function interface which I think
is crucial.  But you ought to be able to run just about any lisp you
want, I should think.  If the utah lisp you are talking about is the
same one that HP used to distribute (they have now switched to Lucid)
and I think it may be, than I warn you away from it.  It has almost no
provisions for foreign function calls, etc...
