[comp.sys.next] Q's on student discount and notes conferencing software

tenny@z.dec.com (Dave Tenny) (10/08/90)

Pricing question:
From what I've heard, the new slab, 8MB, 105 mb disk with 2.88 floppy
configuration lists at $4995.  The 340mb disk version of this lists at
$6995.  Has anybody heard the discount price for the 340MB version?

Software question:

I want to allow people to dial up to my NeXT box to access a notes conferencing
system (not necessarily a bulletin board, just a place to discuss certain
topics).  Can people (A) dial up to the box? (B) log into a notes process?
and (C) perform notes conferencing (i.e. is there notes conferencing software)?
Please note that this box would be standalone, its only link with the outside
world would be a phone line.

Thanks for any data.  Reply by email if you feel it's not appropriate to
this conference.
