Here's what I think the situation is:

* Apple is supporting MacX 

* MacX is shipping, but is usually bundled with AU/X 2.0, so its announcement
  went unnoticed by many people.

* MacX seems to work

* MacX solves a lot of problems for campus' like CMU's.

* MacX requires the Communications Toolbox and MacTCP to be useful in an IP
  world.

Here are the questions, I would love some answers from Apple on this one.

* Is there a site license for MacX?  If so, how much ?  Is $2500 about right?

* MacX requires the Communication Toolbox.  Is that part of the site license
  or is it a separate deal?  If so, how much for that?

* MacX requires MacTCP to be useful at most sites (sorry, there aren't many
  ADSP based X servers out there). Is that part of the site license or is it a
  separate deal?  If so, how much for that?

Any information is welcome!
