Hi, I have a couple of dumb questions for the dec people
out there.

Sales people are recommending some changes to the MV 4200
at my mothers work. I am a Sun Unix guy and have no clue
so I am calling on the resources of the net to educate
me.

What is a VUP? What are the advantages of a MV 3100-XX
over a MV 4200 (Other than twice the max memory)? How
much speed improvement should one expect with the only 
changes being 3100-85 or 3100-96 over a 4200 same amount 
of memory and disk?

What should you pay for something like a MV 3100-96?
Does $59,000.00 sound a little much?

Sorry like I said I am a Sun UNIX guy. Thanks for any 
light you can shine on the subject.
