	Hi!

	Is anybody as make the SyQuest 88M work with the EISA Driver from ISC
	3.0 for a DPT Card...

	I've call everybody twice and I'm feed up with the fucking attitude
	of SunSoft people... (Hope a couple of them will flame me up so I
	will have a mail box where to send my 10k bug report...)

	I've call SyQuest:	they don't have a clue how to...

	"     "   DPT:		they say its supported by the card but ISC is
				doing the driver...

	"     "   ISC:		they say that's not listed into there
				compatibility list and DPT make the driver...

	Which one do I bomb first?

	And TeleSales people don't bother to say Hi!

	Intel has a little pizza kind-of box with a 486/[33|50|66] EISA all
	in one machine SCSI/Ethernet/VGA with a floppy...  Its been three month
	now that we swim throught the SunSoft/Interactive Cie to find somebody
	to answer our question about the driver available for it...

	Intel says that ISC gonna support it.  ISC already said that is
	compatible but when need a special driver for the SCSI and it don't boot
	up with the standard driver...

	And the S(c)u[n|m]Soft guy give me a address for tech support so I can
	my bugs list throught certified(tm) mail (SMTP will certifie the 
	delivery!), he gave me support@west.sun.com: Wrong!  Let's flood
	root@west.sun.com with tons of 'hd /unix | mail root@west.sun.com'...

	50% off if you switch from SCO/Esix/? to ISC 3.0: I got Base OS, Devel,
	VP/ix for SCO, I've add TCP/IP, NFS to my order: total $2103.75 (CDN)
	with the 50% off, total cost for a WorkStattion Developper (including
	a double cheese burger): $2370...  Marketing hein!  I don't think they
	realise that the customers they focus on have a IQ...

	Have fun... (BTW:  I've sell for $10k of ISC 3.0 this year doing my
		     consultant job I'm trying to convert people from SCO to
		     ISC 3.0 and got proof of the supperiority of ISC 3.0 but
		     since ScumSoft bought ISC for their SysVR4 sources my ISC
		     likeness level drop at 1/4 happy...

		     rot.qc.ca is a full ISC 3.0 Internet Host and I've port a
		     lot of NetSoft on it...

		     Yesterday I've route some applications throught ISC 3.0 and
		     RS/6000 with Oracle/6 that is so complex, I can't draw
		     it...	PC(Gupta/Windows/SQL*Net) ->
				ISC 3.0(Oracle/6) -> (slip) ->
				RS/6000(AIX 3.2,Oracle/6)

                     Its still good but I don't like to shit at by a Cie that is
		     thinking to be so well placed that not helping a fucking
		     french/quebec/canadien will not matter anybody...  Gosh
		     I will like to talk a bit with Mr.P!)
