Hi - I need recommendations for selecting a unix for my application: I need to run a multi-user bbs for tech support. I will probably use Citadel, and something like a Hub-6 on a 33 Mhz 386, because they are so cheap. I would like to buy SCO, but I think the price is far too high, especially since they unbundle the C compiler and X. What about IX? Is it still $99 including CC? How much is X? What about DELL? What have people's responses been with these systems, either running massive dial-ins, or running X? (We would like to go with one UNIX in house) In my opinion, it's almost cheaper to get a sun and get the OS free, than to get a cheap 386 and pay through the nose for software. Jordan
