Hello,

We may be migrating some of our software from MPE/iX to Unix or Windows NT server in the near future.  Right now I am the sole support person for our HP 3000 and 65+ desktop PCs.  I have some outside assistance supporting our NetWare 4.11 file server.  I feel that I will probably need additional staff when the new server is brought online (possibly as soon as summer) but, since I have little Unix experience and zero NT server experience, I have no idea how much time/effort is required to support such a system.

I searched the HP 3000-L archives, and didn't really find any useful info.  There was a thread about Unix vs. MPE costs, but the links referenced were broken or didn't include any data comparing support costs for the two systems.  If anyone has any information that I can use to support hiring a new staff person, it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
