- Really? Before we moved unitree to an RS/6000, we were running UTS
- under LPAR on our IBM 9121-320.

- My condolences. All I've heard from people who have experience with
- both AIX and some other *ix is negative to AIX. The TCF (?) looks
- spiffy to me, if you can use it, but other than that, I don't see much
- point in AIX. Once you have a general-use mainframe *ix system, users
- might find it quite easy to move their work from there to cheap(er)
- hardware.

- P.S. Apparently UTS's TCP/IP is a CPU pig.
