I have a friend who tried Coherent, and was also quite displeased about
being limited to the small memory model. He has spoken to a couple of
people, and one person recommended that he look at ESSEX (sp?), Everex's
version of Unix. Apparently, this operating system costs about
$500-600, but is as good as SCO Unix, which costs MUCH more. Also,
ESSEX apparently includes X windows, and other goodies (maybe NFS, I
don't know). As you can tell, I haven't personally seen any information
about this, but if I were looking at gettin Unix, I would definitely
look into ESSEX, rather than Coherent. Like they say, you get what you
pay for.
