I have a medical practice with all of our billing, appointments, etc.
running on a proprietary software called Script Systems by Mysis. The
server is a 4 year old IBM eServer with OS 5.07 as OS.. I am concerned
about the need to replace the server before a hardware failure creates a
crisis, as I figure most hardware is good for about 5 years and we are near
that. Mysis would prefer (naturally) that I migrate to a different software
they offer that is GUI instead of character based, although they still
support our product. The OS on our server is OS 5.07. How realistic is it
that I stick to our prior method of buying an Intel based server and load OS
5.07 and our data myself, and have Mysis still do software support for their
product (but not hardware or OS) given Sco's financial problems. Our
vender's solution is considerably more expensive, but has the advantaage
that they will support the new hardware and software. All thoughts
appreciated.
