- perfect opportunity.

- ISC UNIX will NOT, according to members of their development staff, soon
- be phased out. I posted a question about the 3.01 getty a few weeks ago,
- because I was having a problem with dial-up access at a customer site.
- I replaced the modem (a Practical Peripherals 2400 external) with a
- FastComm FDX9696, and the problem went away on my end. The client's
- programmer, using an apparently identical modem except for the CompUSA
- label, still experienced data corruption, but could at least get a login
- prompt consistently and login with no problems. Replacing the asy
- drivers with fas 2.09 cleared up his problems. At any rate, when I
- posted the question asking if there was a new getty with ISC 3.01, I
- received a call from a member of the SunSoft/ISC UNIX SVR3 development
- team who assured me that SVR3 would be continue to be supported for
- quite some time (I think she may have said "indefinitely", but I can't
- remember for sure).
