I am having difficulty trying to obtain an educational site license for 
MacX (for the MacOS). I was told by Apple Software Licensing that the MacX 
product manager had decided that licensing would be handled by dealers and 
not ASL. I was told that I would also have to buy a single copy of the 
software as the site license did not include media or manuals. (By the 
way, she used the term "right to copy"; not "site license"). I was given 
the following product numbers:

M0108LL/A    MacX
M0747LL/A    Site License

One dealer (Falcon Microsystems) says, however, that M0747 is the site 
license for "X Window System for A/UX" (which, I understand, includes 
"MacX for A/UX"). My Apple Federal Account Exec says that there is no site 
license for MacX.

1) If, in fact, there is a site license for MacX (for the MacOS), what is 
its:
    a) product number?
    b) price? (we are a university consortia funded by the Nat. Science 
Foundation)
    c) do I still have to buy the single copy (M0108) or is media and 
manuals included?

2) If there is no site license for MacX alone, do I buy the site license 
for "X Window System for A/UX" (M0747) instead? Then must I buy "X Window 
System for A/UX" (M0411LL/A) to get media/manuals (and hope that "MacX for 
A/UX" will run with the MacOS), or do I buy "MacX for the MacOS" (M0108).

I would appreciate hearing from someone who has obtained an educational 
site license for MacX.
