Well, we use Quadratron's CLIQ product.  It's far more than just a WP
package, and is IMHO just as good as WP and MSW.  It supports all sorts
of nice REAL UNIX stuff like job control (the ability to suspend WP sessions
to do other things, like use the message pad, phone book, calendar, e-mail
etc), and it's around the same price!  This is a very cost effective
solution.  It runs very nicely on our ISC 2.02.
