I imagine there will be others interested so I am posting the response. My quote was from a rather boring place. The local WD distributor is Wyle Electronics. That was a quantity one price. I don't know if that reflects a corporate discount or not. But try your local WD distributor. If you don't know who he is, call the factory and ask. I wonder what an aggressive price discounter like Fry's Electronics would price the WD board at. Between ThinWire Ethernet and this hardware, I wonder about Appletalk on PCs. There's a small matter of software, of course, but, well, who knows. Is there anyone else out there using the Sun PC-NFS telnet? It doesn't seem to allow multiple sessions like ka9q. Or allow the host to set tabs. And there's no ftp server like ka9q. Although it has a much nicer ftp client than ka9q. And its vt100 emulation is MUCH better. (to be fair, I think ka9q relies on the ansi.sys or whatever. anyway, we can't figure out a good termcap for use with ka9q). -- Make Japan the 51st state! I speak for myself, not the company.
