Unisys is currently selling 4 to 16-processor Itanium 2 machines. They are very competitively priced against mid-sized RISC machines, although pricing information is not available on the web. SCO's UnitedLinux will be available as soon as SCO ships. http://www.unisys.com/products/es7000__servers/hardware/aries__130.htm For a quote in North America, you can contact Rob Luke, rob.luke@unisys.com (801) 594-5088. I can get you contact info for other parts of the world. Kevin Van Maren Unisys
