A blind colleague is interested in a unix box for the home to be
used as a stand-alone machine and as a (very) capable terminal.
Is Amix (SVR4) for the amiga a cost-effective option for someone
who is not interested in the graphics capabilities (or much of the
amiga's capababilities for that matter)?

What would be involved in setting up an Amiga with a line-terminal?

If you can think of another unix machine that is more readily applied to
this problem, please suggest it also.

Thank you,
