AT&T 3BXXX Info Needed

[James B. Houser]

Hi

        I would be very interested in hearing what people think  about
UNIX  on  the  AT&T 3B-Whatever.  We may have to acquire some of these
machines and currently all I have to go on is the BSTJ  issue.  Asside
from  general  ideas of "how good is it", some specific questions that
come to mind include;

        1) How does the 3BXXX compare to Vaxen especially  the  11/780
and 11/785?  Is it faster/slower, more or less reliable etc.

	2) What kind of shape is the network support in?

        3) Are there any plans to port 4.3BSD to the 3BXXX hardware?

        4) What kind of configurations make sense to run UNIX on?

        5) What experience people outside AT&T (if there are any) have
had with maintenance and repair?

         Thanx in advance for the info and if response warrants I will
summarize to unix-wizzards.
