Many thanks to all who responded to my UNIX PC question a few weeks ago (and thanks to anyone who has been patiently waiting for a followup). All responses indicated that the UNIX PC was a good machine (albeit not as fast as some more recently-introduced UNIX boxes). There are also some great deals to be had since AT&T is discontinuing the product. A downside is that support may be harder to come by. In response to many inquiries I received, here is a list of UNIX PC vendors: Feith Systems One Bala Plaza Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 Ph. 215-667-5575 VarTech, Inc. Naperville, IL Ph. 312-505-1777 (VarTech was referred to in more responses than any other supplier.) Discovery Electronics 775 Franklin Road, Ste. 100 Marietta, GA 30067 Ph. 800-346-8243 Disclaimer: I have not dealt with any of these firms yet; names are being mentioned for information only. It now looks as if I may be moving in the near future, so I have temporarily put any plans to order a new computer on hold. Thanks to all who responded; the information will be of use to me when I get settled down and decide to order. David W. Barts, Ph. 509-376-1718 (FTS 444-1718), dxxb@beta.lanl.GOV (Working in Wa. state but using LANL's computers.)
