Why no SLIP? That's the one advantage a Mac with A/UX has - all you need to do is tell the kernel to do SLIP, and even the minimal documentation Apple provides is adequate to get it set up. I've dumped my Mac for a NeXT as the machine to use at home, but I'm REALLY unhappy about this. And to be concrete (i.e., to say something relevant to sales....) at least two of my colleagues would be happy to get a NeXT as their home machine if I could convince them they could put it on the net over their modems.
