There has been a price reduction in ethernet boards available from
GfxBase. I know it is not alot but I also felt that $899 was a bit
steep for the AIP2000 package.
We are now offering the AIP2000 package for $795 list which is $104
off the original list price. We are able to do this because of some
new arrangements we have made for getting the boards made for us.
The software is the same Ameristar3.0, NFS/Rlogin/rsh/tcp-ip/... etc
and supports the X Window System also available from GfxBase.
