[comp.sys.next] Extended Release...

Greetings:

	My NeXTStation is on order from the local college.  I ordered the
base configuration (8/105).  I'm going to come up to speed with this and then
get an external drive to add the extended release.  Now for the big question
I here you folks talking about the extended software upgrade for $50,  where ?
I called NeXT and they are asking $175 (expensive disks!!!).  The college said
"extended WHAT", so naturally I could not get a student price out of them (they
are going to look further, though).  I would appreciate any info into where
this price is from....

	Question #2 NeXT station has two serial ports, I read somewhere that they
are RS422.  True or False?  if TRUE {can I get 232 resistor packs || some sort
of adaptor?}.  I have a modem from my cp/m machine (232) that I would like to
use.

	Thanks for any information
