I would like to hear from other people who have Convergent Technologies
MegaFrames.
We here have had one as a development system for several months now
and have been incredibly disatisfied with the quality of software
and hardware.
This is a system which runs System V UNIX, but would you believe
that the firt release of software we got (their "1.9") didn't have
modem control for dialup ports? Two releases later (version 2.1)
and there is still no way to remove jobs from the printer queue!
Right now we are experiencing either a software or hardware difficulty
by which blocks of data are removed from files as they are written to disk.
And the system just hangs causing incredible damage to the filesystems.
