We are considering purchasing Sys V rel 3.2 from Western Bell for a 80386 PC (Compaq 386/20 model 60) so that we can evaluate the TCP streams product from Wollongong corporation. Currently we are running SCO Xenix for 386, the TCP for this is adequate (FTP, Telnet, SMTP) with their Xenixnet product. Does anyone have personal experience with any of the following: Western Bell 386 Sys V rel 3.2; Wollongong Win TCP 386 streams; Wollongong NFS; Lachman TCP or NFS; X windows for SCO, Western Bell, or MS-DOS. I would truly appreciate knowing any probable pitfalls or advantages to any of these products. SCO Xenix on the whole is a solid product offering, but I will share one pitfall with the net, I bought the SW Maint which includes tech support. During the last three days I have made over 20 phone calls, the phone was busy each time! If my system was down I would be one sad administrator, fortunatly I am suffering from a fairly beign glitch.
