There is much discussion about the merits of UNIX Sys V.3. We here would like to know if there exists a living, breathing machine available NOW to run this latest version of UNIX, a machine which we could see demo-ed and upon which we could run comparitive benchmarks to determine V.3 performance. (We do realize, of course, that AT&T has only recently announced V.3. But maybe there is an AT&T box out there which could fill the bill.) If anyone knows of such a machine, please give me the word. Post the info to the net or send mail to burdvax!asgdtn!gary. Thanks. Gary L Barrett Burroughs Corporation ESDC/DTN Downingtown, PA 19335

Supposidly, SVR3 was developed on the 400 line, and ports to the 3B5/15 line are not due out until early next year. FWIW. Marc A.
