You are right about this, no question. I would probably point someone at BSDI if they were doing a PC/internet service. If they could stomach the cost, I would probably say an SPARC SS2 with SunOS 4.1.4 on it is the most stable system around that is really supported. Sorry about jumping on you, I didn't get the first half of this where they were talking heavy duty internet service. Peace, -- --- Larry McVoy (415) 390-1804 lm@sgi.com
