My two bits to add to this discussion come from my experience as
a satisfied system administrator for a multi-server wide area
Banyan network.

I must first protest the hack job courtesy of John DeArmond from
Sales Technologies in Atlanta. Many of his points about Banyan
networks are simply INCORRECT.

While any network system, including Banyan, has its good and bad
points I am very satisfied with the features that Banyan's product
gives to both end users and administrators. Now if only they could
cut their memory usage just a bit and reduce their prices "a bit"
Banyan could knock others out of the water.

I was going to do a point by point rebuttal to the misleading points
made by John DeArmond but I defer to the previous note by John K from
Banyan Systems itself.

Keep up the good work Banyan !!!! ;-)
