MFOS was very much at 6200 Broad Street in Columbus at least in the later days (although Indian Hill certainly could have been involved). I walked by the MFOS offices every day going to lunch. The group I was a part of sort of spawned out of MFOS, but had other inputs too. MFOS and the product I was a part of was ported / converted / forced into to a lot of different hardware, and I believe that the last one for MFOS was HP and HP-UX. I pretty sure I remember them going through the Starserver (white box Tandem systems) phase. The product I worked on got to skip the 3B2 systems Because Of Reasons, but we had to interface to systems that ran on the 3B so we had one to three in our lab(s) running simulators of the systems we were suppose to talk to. -- Brad Spencer - brad@anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
