Var-Tech may be willing to sell you a box, but don't expect much
else from them, at least as an individual.  I was there yesterday
looking for UNIX-PC software and they basically told me they
don't want to deal with it.  They gave me a number for a company
called TRC in California, and told me to buy a 386.  No slam
against them; I've heard a lot of positive comments about them,
but they either don't want to work with private individuals or
they're trying to extricate themselves from the 7300 market.
