For us it was TCP/IP support. I had a friend that was the lowest level manager that got into the big 'futures' meeting where Gerstner (sp?!) and Ellen Hancock (sp?) (also know as Ms. SNA) had their 'debate' on the future of the company. Ellen was out the next day. Without TCP/IP support, we just could not use it, as we were making the transition to IP (by '94 we had 100k IP stations and an Openview map of 100Mb, next largest known was 25Mb). And I did not have to support any engineering workstations. Pretty much I only had servers. And apps like TCL!
