(Plus DMS-250, 300, and MTX). 100 is local, 200 is toll, essentially. I've never been totally clear on the _hardware_ difference between a 100 and a 200. I don't think there is any. Each of the above products is available with two generations of CPU - NT40 and SuperNode (tm), a 68020/30/40 version. Then there are the peripherals - the original series, probably not supported on SuperNode, and the XPM series, themselves 68020 based, on both NT-40 and SuperNode. Watch the press for more announcements that will complicate this even more! Henry Troup - BNR owns but does not share my opinions ..uunet!bnrgate!hwt%bwdlh490 or HWT@BNR.CA
