    I've run SCO for about 5 years.  I've put up with a lack of 
development system, limited networking, limited GUI availability, and 
difficult customer service people.  I've rarely had trouble with it, but 
every time I ask for help it's like I have to show a birth certificate.

    Now I'm starting an ISP.  A very _small_ ISP.  The webservice portion 
is being run on a more expensive machine, and I'm handling the Email by 
way of SCO and it's UUCP.

    Some pointed questions:

    1. Doesn't BSD have UUCP?  Taylor or HDB?  (Please don't say both...)

    2. Does it come with all the networking?

    3. How about PPP connections?

    I think it's time for a change...and BSD might just be it.
