If I hang a tape drive off my *nix system, it will be an Archive, not an
Everex.  What makes ESIX more attractive to me is the availability of NFS and
yellow pages NOW, now in blah blah date which SCO promises.  I'm looking at
SCO with more scrutiny than Stallman with GNU.  Alright SCO, where's the
damned NFS for Unix?
