We have a copy of the MacWorkstation documentation and plan (
when money permits ) on acquiring it. It gives a Mac interface to
Unix by using the combination of the Mac connected serially to
the Unix box running two pieces of software - one on each end. As
we don't have it here yet, any comments I would make about it
would be purely conjecture. The license fee ( I'm a REAL - not
educational end user ) is $1,500. Since you get all the source
stuff, etc. it looks like it might be an O.K. deal.

While Apple can't ( or won't ) make any commitments about the
future of MacWorkstation, they have indicated some directions it
might go in. 

Think of all the folk who could REALLY use Unix with a Mac-type
interface - kinda makes the mind boggle....

My employer not only doesn't approve of my ideas - they're
frightened!
