Have you guys checked out the Spring 1991 Software and
Peripherals catalog?  I don't know how much the serial port
extender from UNINET is going for, but there are two other
companies that have similar products--I guess, "real soon now"
(tm)--for, what I think, _outrageous_ prices.  Oh well, so much
for that idea...

Dazzl (309) 674-9317
"Dazzl Multi-Serial and Parallel Board
 A board that allows the NeXTcube to control
 multiple UNIX(r) terminals, serial devices, or a
 parallel device. $2,695."

Morning Star Technologies, Inc.
1 (800) 558-7827, (614) 451-1883
"Versalink(tm)
 A communications adapter that can be used as
 an asynchronous serial port expansion device or
 a high-speed synchronous communications
 link. $2,495 with Morning Star X.25. Available
 second quarter 1991."
