Aha, one more thing... Someone suggested here in comp.sys.sequent
that Sequent should embrace OSF/2. What Sequent could do is to 
provide two alternative OSs - much like DIGITAL (VMS and Ultrix)
or CRAY (once upon a time). A system such as OSF/2 may turn to 
be highly portable and with much of the work already done by OSF
maintenance on the side of the Sequent could be much reduced.
Also, since OSF/1 is based on Mach 2.5, and Sequent has already
Mach 2.5/DYNIX combination working (although not without problems),
to offer OSF/1 or 2 should be that much easier.
