Just to be a bit picky, it's OS-9, not os/9. :-)

Definitely. We can provide, as separate packages:

    *   TCP/IP Ethernet/Internet Support with FTP/TELNET server/client.

    *   NFS/RPC server/client, for use with the above, including rpcgen.

    *   X11R4 client support (just released), including xterm, etc.

    *   X11R4 server support to be released in a few months.

If you call our North-Eastern Regoinal Office on (603) 929-4107, they
should be able to supply all the information. Or try the Corporate HQ on
(515) 224-1929.

I am posting this as it might be of interest to others too.

Tony.
