- Question:
-
- I was talking to a friend that mentioned his
- company was thinking about developing a huge telecom
- package on Sparc stations because of the development,
- debug, and revision control tools but the final
- destination is a Tandem. A Tandem not running Unix but
- running their proprietary system, whatever that is.
- This is so they get all the feature of fault tolerance.
- Apparently the Unix on the Tandem is missing some. He
- thinks that it's POSIX compliant but I still have
- concerns that they are looking for trouble. This is not
- a small project...approx. 40+ developers.
-
- Can anyone tell me if this is possible or is disaster
- just around the corner?
-
- Much appreciated,
-
