Okay, I wanna know.  What all is included with each of these upgrades.
I know that Bell Tech has Streams and Networking stuff.  Does the
Interactive also havem??  What does it have.  Does the Bell Tech upgrade
include an Upgrade for DOS/Merge?  I have 5 systems which I need to
upgrade YESTERDAY, so talk to me.  What I need is:
	 4		1-2 User Sys V r 3.2 with Development and VP/ix.
	 1		Unlimited, Full Blown All but the source UNIX and VP/ix(for ME ;-)
The Four have been sold to customers, but it looks like my company may
get stuck with upgrading them anyway. (Gee, would you pay for a system
which wasn't working yet, and had no support for the OS?? 8-{  What I
need for the justification is pricing/delivery times, Credit information,
and anything else you can think of.  I won't split the order, I gotta have
all matching stuff.  No more time for screwing around with "slight"
incompatibilities.

Do any of the following BUGS exist:
	80387/80386/DMA	goes to never never land
	Pause key on keyboard causes DOUBLE PANICs
	Various other Keyboard problems in VP/ix
	VP/ix will not work properly with Monochrome Text
	Serial Ports start dropping characters at 12/2400 baud

	My exact configuration is:

	16 Mhz 1 wait state Eltech 386
	4.5 Meg Intel 80386 Motherboard
	80387
	120 Megabyte Maxtor HD
	1.2 Meg/360K floppies
	Everex Magic I/O video card
	QUIMAX Monochrome Monitors
	Everex 60Meg Internal Streaming QIC-36 Tape Drive
	Digiboard COM 4 board (not intelligent)

	Each system is running:
		1	9600 Baud Protocol'd Port
		2	9600 Baud Serial Printers
		1	2400 Baud Protocol'd Port
		1	1200 Baud Modem

	so the serial drivers have got to work.

	Thanks for any help, and sorry it was so long winded, I have been on
	the phone with a customer all day about his problems (I could mention
	a few he hadn't thought of too >-{

	brian
