On August 22 AT&T announced four more products for the unix pc. In no particular order, they are: IRMA card - makes your unix pc look like a 3270 tube of some variety. voice card - turns your unix pc into an answering machine, can send voice mail to similarly equipped people, &c. expansion chassis - gives you, er, 9 (? I forget) extra card slots into which you can plug all these goodies. Ethernet interface - Wollongong's TCP/IP implementation. Everything except the voice card is general availability - the voice card is in CI (Controlled Introduction - ie you probably can't buy it yet). I have no information on prices, COM codes, PEC codes, delivery or anything else. I actually know very little more about these products. I have seen an expansion box full of voice cards working, and both are really spiffy. I know that the Ether board works, but don't know exactly what comes with the software, or even if it is the same as the 3B2 version. Now that these products are officially out, perhaps some of the people who worked on them could tell us a little more about them? I admit to being misled on this one - I claimed yesterday on the net that there was no announced Ethernet product and I was wrong. The reason I didn't know is that AT&T unix pc Product Management only announced the availability of these items to the Marketing organizations, not to the developers.
