Sure, lots of us have tried ESIX, but I can't afford to try ESIX, SCO, and
ISC.  And since we use Suns (to name one) at work, I didn't think that
comparing ESIX on my 386SX to SunOS on my Sun 4 was what you were looking
for.  Oh, about three years ago I did use SCO Xenix 286 on an 8 mhz AT.  It
was very painful.

In the past I have posted favorable reports about the functionality and
reliability of ESIX.

As to why ESIX is 1/3 the price of the others; my guess is that Everex is
trying to break into the market, and is willing to sacrifice short term
profits for long term market share.  Just my opinion.
