I don't know where you got your info from but...

1> the TT isn't available.  You can't get it for any amount of money 
   in these here United States of America (or anywhere else I think).

2> Atari Unix is in the same type of limbo that TOS 1.4 was in say
   2-3 years ago.  It's one of those things they show for an instant
   at a trade show here and there, but God only knows if/when Atari will
   ever get it cleaned up enough to sell it and then get Jack's approval
   to sell it in the US.

Shouldn't be much of a chore if they have a workable Ethernet connection
for the beast.  I've heard some talk of TCP/IP being developed for the
ST by some third party.  It probably would be a trivial task to port it
to a 68030 ST.
