[We need comp.sys.dg ...]

We're looking into replacing 6 DECstation 3100s with entry-level
AViiONs (AV 200).  In just over one year, only 1 has not broken.
The other 5 (including the server) have broken at least 3 times
EACH.  Field Service has been atrocious.  I've dealt with DG in
the past regarding the MVs and have gotten the best service of
any company I've ever talked to.

I'd like to know about people's experiences with the AViiONs.
Are they as reliable as the MVs?  Is DG service as knowledgable
about them as they are about the MVs?  How is DG/UX 4.20?  Do
they really boot with TFTP (so I can boot from a Sun) like I've
heard they do?

If I get good responses (and I can sell the PMAXen :-), you'll have
made 5 engineers, 2 system adminstrators and 3 or 4 managers
very happy.
