The demand paging Well, I've just heard that AT&T announced a VoicePower board for their WGS 386 computer. If I am to assume that this machine is a replacement for the 3B1, references to the sadness with which I note that Motorola has been abandoned in favor of Intel aside, how does the new machine compare? I guess it's an 80386. Has a lot of the software been ported? How does the performance compare? I guess a full-blown setup costs nearly $10K (3B1 originally got near $8K with the works), but they're pushing the 630 as a montitor. Does this mean there will be no UNIX-PC 3.6 OS? Got any information? Good/bad news? G. Mark Stewart ATT-BTL Naperville, ix1g266 ixlpq!gms 979-0914

No profit and very little good press for AT&T. -- __ _ __ / ) // / ) / / / __. __ __ __ , // /--< __. /_ _ __ Darryl Baker /__/_(_/|_/ (_/ (_/ (_/_</_ /___/_(_/|_/ <_</_/ (_ ihnp4!tellab5!dpb / '
