Upgrade questions

[Hoppe, Eric EP]

All-

We currently have: OpenVMS 7.1, UCX Ver 4.1 - ECO 9 on an AlphaServer 4000
using PH 7.10G1.  Our current setup is working great, but we are starting to
get hints from Compaq it is time to upgrade.

I am under the impression in order to go to PH 8.x we need to upgrade to UCX
5.  I am also under the impression that UCX 5 does not support the RMS
mailbox function which we use heavily.  I also think PH 8.x requires a
higher ver of operating system.

Before I start opening trouble tickets with the vendors, I thought I would
fish out here in the ether for comments from anyone who has been through
this already.

Thanks and I hope there is enough info in this msg.
