One argument that I like is that your mission critical application usually generates some data; if so, it is silly not to use network to access it. The network necessitates a multitasking OS. This of course has nothing to do with the hardware (cisc/risc part of your question). In fact, the most elegant solution for mission critical dedicated computers is IBM PC compatible running Linux. -- przemek klosowski (przemek@rrdstrad.nist.gov) Reactor Division (bldg. 235), E111 National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA (301) 975 6249 tel (301) 921 9847 fax
