Hi there!

Is it really true, that there ain't 25 MHz 3000UX configuration available?
If so, is there some reasons why?

Well these configurations must be without TIGA graphic adapter, am I right?
When that adapter will be released?

Are  these TCP/IP and NFS included to the base OS configuration or are they
just available. If that so, how much they cost? And does the TCP/IP support
the SLIP or not? And what net-adapter will be supported?
