Well apparently our AIX support doesn't cover upgrades and they want $900.00
for a tape (no CD rom on this system). What are my other choices besides
upgrading the old system to 5.1 then migrating over? When I fire up the
new system, Im sure I can create a script to run on it to set up the 48
tty's. Is there a way to copy the users over? As far as the network, I can
set that up from scratch. What am I missing here??? Besides my actual
database which is going to be a new install of Universe 10.0.11 also and an
upload of my actual database.
Thanks
