Ultrix version question

Hello,

While logging into my 5k/240, an associate noticed that I might be running a
beta version of Ultrix.  He said that when he worked at DEC, version numbers
starting with a "T" were beta copies.

here is what I get when I login:

ULTRIX T4.3A-6 (Rev. 132) System #1: Wed Nov  2 16:41:27 EST 1994
UWS T4.3A-6 (Rev. 21)


If I have a beta copy, I will of course be speaking to the people who sold
me the thing and getting a new version.  

What version of Ultrix is the best now?  I have had a number of problems
with this system and have replaced BIND, Sendmail, Syslog and others.  This
was quite a pain so if all versions of Ultrix are like this, I will stay
with my beta because I have fixed it now.

Thanks,

Alan Laird
