[comp.sys.next] General NeXT questions

Howdy,
  The drool effect is setting in, and I'm thinking about getting a NeXT, but
  I have a couple of questions:
 
  1.  Is there a SLIP driver out yet?  I may not be able to hook up to ethernet
      so I may need to use SLIP or something similar (I've heard rumors about 
      something called PPP?)

  2.  Is there a driver for HP LaserJet type printers?  I already have one and
      I'd rather not buy another laser printer just yet.  I heard that there
      may be a driver for it which translates the postscript on the NeXT and 
      converts it to LaserJet graphics.

  3.  I keep hearing about some conferencing program that lets people talk to 
      each other in real time through their NeXTs.  Anyone know where this is 
      to be found or what it is called?

  4.  Has anyone tried SoftPC?  I'm curious about how fast it runs.  

  Thanks for any help,
		-Tas
