Is that intended for OEMs/VARs to allow them to bundle a binary version 
with their wares or to sell AppleShare serving software as an option?
Can we expect such products to appear on the market at a reasonable price? 
and when?
WIth everyone raving about how well a IIfx with its I/O processors would 
be suited as a network server, can we expect Apple to come out with 
multi-threaded AppleShare server software any time soon? Perhaps running 
under A/UX???
And there is another missing link:  TCP/IP routing and AppleTalk in UDP 
tunneling support by the Apple Internet Router!
I'd be interested to hear what comments the speaker for Chris Clauss or 
anyone else would have on these issues.
