And people into System V tend to want 386 clones at home, too. If anyone has it, I want it too. There is an alternative, but it costs $money$. A company in Texas called Structured Software Solutions sells a package they call Facet/Term and Facet/PC. These provide virtual terminal features for terminals and a special set of features if your terminal happens to be a pc-dos machine. Facet/Term will work on serial lines, tcp/ip rlogin lines, just about anything. Facet/Term is priced at $495.00 for a 386 based unix machine. There is a limit of 25 simultaneous users. If you want the Facet/PC additions, then there is an additional cost of $125.00 (??) per PC. Facet/PC only works if the PC is connected to the unix host via serial port. They have versions for just about every System V port there is, not just for 386 machines either. We've been using it now for a couple of months and would not want to give it up for anything. -larry
