   For a while there, I called Parc Place fairly regularly (every two
   months or so) to inquire about a port to NeXT. No luck, so far.
   Perhaps if more folks called expressing an interest? 

I've called them several times too.  They said that there must be more
interest from noneducational customers before they would do a port.
They only charge $350 for their educuational version and they said
that it wasn't worth their effort unless more people who would pay the
$3500 fee were interested.

Digitalk sounded like they could be persuaded, if they heard from
enough people.
