	When can I get an AT&T 6300+ with OS MERGE.  I've heard spring,
February, March, April 1 (now April 15 - great day, huh!).  In case you
don't know, OS MERGE combines UN*X and DOS under one file system, with
DOS running as a background process.  After you invoke DOS (dos &), the
push of a key sends you into DOS-land.  Hit the key again, UN*X land.

	I've seen this thing demo'ed (sp) and it looks like a winner.
You can buy a 6300+, but without OS MERGE.  I can't get a straight answer
from any dealers on whether if I buy now, I can upgrade - without forking
over large $$$.

	If you know anything about this thing let's hear from you.  In 
particular:
	- When
	- How compatible is DOS (will it run AutoCad and other programs
	  that think they *own* the machine)
	- Any hands on experience out there (AT&T folk, if you can talk...)
	- How much

	Let's keep this centered on OS MERGE as much as possible.
Followups to net.micro only.  Thanks lots!
