Can anyone suggest an inexpensive, fast database engine for a real time application 
on the UNIX platform???

I have been developing a high call-traffic voice mail system under OS/2 using Btrieve
as my database engine.  Btrieve is much faster than any of the high-end SQL engines I 
have tried running on the same platform.  It provides solid access control, and best of all,
there are no distribution royalties.

I must now port my application to a UNIX environment, and I have not been able to identify
a sutible database engine.  Btrieve doesn't run on UNIX.  A robust ISAM system would be fine, 
preferrably without per-process license fees (I will be handling 48 simultaneous calls, and 
I don't want to pay a seat license for 48 caller processes).

Any ideas what I should use???
RSVP email please.

thanks, jjs
