Recently I have been preparing to buy an AT clone due to the drastic drop of prices I witnessed at COMDEX and I have also decided that when I get one, I will want some form of *NIX running on it. SCO Xenix looks VERY nice, but it does not even have uucp as something that comes standard with a basic setup, but some of the other features, like Lyrix and virtual logins from the console are very attractive. MS-Xenix appears to be the standard, but I have seen nothing of it save the price, which appears too pricey to me. MICROPORT UNIX, however, appears to be a good, complete value at a low price, although I havn't seen a review of it anywhere yet... Is there anyone who is familiar enough with any of the above [or yet another flavor of UNIX for the AT] to post an article with it's pros, cons, and special features? I know that SCO Xenis has buffer emptying every 15 seconds, but I'm not so sure whether that would be a curse or a blessing. please reply via uucp mail and I will post a summary if there is interest.
