Just read the FAQ and still have a couple 'o ?s
I havn't gotten my slab yet so I don't have manuals.
1) I have a very old Apple LaserWriter. Am I going to be able
   to use this in a well integrated fashion on th NeXT?
2) I have a Trailblazer T2500 modem. Do the serial ports on the
   NeXT support hardware handshake and can they go at > 9600 baud?
3) I would like to network the NeXT to a i386 running Interactive
   Unix (vers 2.2). Are there any known 'nasty suprises' I am going
   to run into using thin wire ethernet and NFS?
4) Is the NeXT impl of 4.3bsd fairly faithful...will I finally be able
   to compile programs from the net without the SYSVizeing them?
5) As shipped (with the std 8 meg) is the slab populated with 1 meg
   by 8 simms or are the 4 meg by 8?

Thanks,
