More tales.... I run TWO systems running 2.0 version in video shops with 1 dumb terminal connected to the com1 port and an internal modem to then com4 port. The systems controls 12000 tapes, using ingres dbms with an "c" written application, that receives updates from a central shop using uucp. There is no UPS, no stabilizer, the system only goes down when the power goes off. I can never imagine if I would ever use another OS for such a task. My friends used Windows, with norton, virus, backups, no-breaks, disk mirrors, backup of fats... When I switch to UNIX and BSD they say I was crazy, the history, showed I was right. Now I am using FreeBSD to make WANS and printer servers, www servers and connecting LANS using OS/2 connect. My customers are giving up from WIN95... I proved them it makes more sense using FreeBSD to manage their WANS than anything else. I don't know why the SCO people does not talk to me any more ??. I am now installing and FreeBSD box in a large SCO reseller to build HTML pages. They became impressioned with the X window and then xfm/fvwm interface available. In a HP reseller, they bought 4 BSD CD-roms for installing at home replacing the windows they have. I'm very satisfied with the system.!!!! Lenzi, Sergio email: lenzi@mtm.ufsc.br
