- hahahaha - personally I'd rather get the irate-sounding techie right off
- the bat instead a sweet receptionist who connects me to the Muzak hold line
- or even worse an irate-sounding salesman who is being forced to run

- p.s. if ESIX is going to survive against Dell they had better include
- some kind of DOS emulator in their 4.2 release. Also some of the
- bundled stuff like emacs and TeX would be nice.
-
- How do ESIX and Dell compare on nfs and yp stuff? ESIX includes
- an nfs package but I haven't figured out how to use it yet
- (no docs *$!). Does Dell? I got the impression they don't.
