This is known as the "5 year decay period." According to our AT&T rep, there will be no more low end 3B2, only the 3B2/500 and up will be sold (ie. 310's and 400's won't be sold anymore). Also the AT&T 6286WGS will be the only MSDOS only machine sold by AT&T (ie. no more 6300WGS and 6312WGS). Of course they are doing this to push their 6386WGS line. -Lenny -- Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems [w] +1 (516) 589-7930 lenny@icus.islp.ny.us Telex; 154232428 ICUS [h] +1 (516) 968-8576 {ames,talcott,decuac,hombre,pacbell,sbcs}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752

The 400 is a good machine is is one of the most reliable machines I have seen. The speed is not as fast as a 386 but it is more reliable. rich andrews
