  As a user of many UTS machines, I can give a "user" perspective.
The UTS systems have become so reliable that I no longer worry about when
the next "crash" will occur or when the next 'please log off NOW' message
will appear.  With >500 users logged on, and many running multiple "layers(1)"
sessions, the systems are still very responsive and seem to manage LARGE
files better than any other I use.  The systems also appear to offer more
communications and "peripheral" attachments than you could possibly want to
use.

  Don't you also offer an ISDN interface (or is that really an X.25 interface
after some Front End de-muxing)?

  I gave up trying to test normal benchmarks on the systems -- much too fast.
The real-world test is to load up some large C sources (GNU whatever, Kermit,
etc.) and then type (with 500 other folks logged in):

    make

  (The output just flies by....)

Al Varney -- just MY opinion.  I have no connection with Amdahl nor with
             the comp. center folks at any AT&T location, other than as a
             very satisfied user.  And I don't know the size/number of
             systems involved -- for all I know, they're all just virtual
             UTS systems running under VM-world on a VERY fast CPU....
