Anyone out there using UHC UNIX?  I am curious to hear what users'
impressions are.  Good?  Bad?  Ugly?  How's the tech support?  Why
did you choose UHC over some other vendor's SVR4?

The only thing i can say about it: NEVER BUY UHC UNIX !!!!

It's not a technical problem, it's a problem of their service (or what they
call service). Just to give you one example (out of a lot of bad experiences),
i ordered last october an upgrade to V 4.0.3.6. The upgrade arrived fine
and very fast. But the second boot disk of the WD7000 boot disks were
wrong (identical with the first one). Meanwhile i send 12 fax messages to their
"support team", but go no answer until today! So their upgrade lies around
waiting to be installed, but can not be installed, because of the lack of
the second boot disk.
This is not the only story about UHC i have to tell. The other of the same
qualitiy :-(
Now i am waiting for Solaris and Univel becomming available and will then
make a decision to buy a new system.

I've been running it for a couple of years. It works well, and
it's nice to always get a guru immediately when I call
(which I haven't needed to do very often). When I needed an updated driver,
it was dispatched immediately.

I chose it because of their ad in Unix World, and a review in Computer
Shopper.  At the time, only Dell and UHC had SVR4.
