[comp.unix.i386] A general Thanks

arasmith@mathcs.emory.edu (David Arasmith) (01/01/90)

I would like to thank all the people who responded to my questions
about inexpensive OS options.  The response was very helpful (and very
voluminous).  I have replied to some of you, but those other to whom I have
not responded: Thank you very much, the information was enlightening.

If anyone out there is in the same general boat as me and would like a
copy of all the responses I got please let me know.  I won't be flushing
my mailbox for a couple of weeks.

Okay, one more thing.  Is the following true:

	{people in this group} n {people who know about uw} = 0  ?

I never saw any response about uw for the 386.  Any ideas on where I
should ask?

In alphabetical order:
	comp.sys.amiga
	comp.sys.atari.st
	comp.sys.mac

Problem is that uw is heavy in sockets, and there's no standard pty on
System V that works like the BSD one. And people into System V tend to
want 386 clones at home, too.

The other problem with uw is that it's a logical subset of PPP, and people
are waiting for Godot.

If anyone has it, I want it too.
