1. The MKS Trilogy, last I looked at their ads, was for System V/AT, which is
the '286 product, rather than the '386.
2. I have a beta version of the MKS Trilogy (I sent in my bug reports but never
got a reply or acknowledgement, so I'm a bit miffed) -- their ksh is larger
than the ksh on uport's BBS, loads MUCH SLOWER, and burps on some of the
Bourne scripts in /bin (i.e. basename). I don't know whether these things got
fixed since they never acknowledged my bug reports.
3. What version of the toolkit are you using on your network? Supposedly
Release 2.3 (out about 1 1/2 months) fixed network problems.
