I agree.  MPX isn't worth running SCO.  I've seen several installations with
more than 100 users running ESIX SVR4.  Very fast -- with happy campers based
on real standards as defined in SVR4 -- not standards designed in Santa Cruz
to change an intended OS into something it wasn't designed to be (and compliers
that run "out of the box" on the majority of software circulating out there on
the net).

I wonder what kind of personal assets the stepped down president of SCO has 
available for taking -- as well as corporate assets for tolerating this type
of behavior..

Actually with todays activity on this subject, it is just plain STUPID for
SCO to tolerate this sort of activity from ANYONE, let alone the president.
