Bob... Wait a minute.... I know ESIX is a pretty good deal BUT, have you
looked at Open Desktop from SCO.  Lets see, according to the add I have
here in front of me ESIX includes:
	1.) runtime O.S.
	2.) dev sys.
	3.) X-Sight
	4.) Streams
	availability of NFS and other goodies (looks like add-ons)

Open Desktop INCLUDES NFS, INGRESS, NFS, and a couple of more goodies for
only $100 more!  YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT.

Flames to me.....
Matthew.
