Sounds like they're quite firm on staying with IBM iron.  You may find it
easier to try and get them to accept AIX (UNIX Derivative) running on a
model 80 or an RT.  It may also make it easier for them to accept this wonderful
world of UNIX comming from someone they've dealt with before (regardless of 
how bad they may be :-).
