I seriously doubt that CT will be marketing the UNIX PC products themselves,
though they might offer something VERY similar in the form of another
miniframe derivative. (*personal flame starts here*)
I agree totally with bzs, the UNIX PC is a nice little box.
It is very easy for some folks at a very big company to say "well pooh,
we only sold 10 thousand this year...", when some other pretty big companies
would be estatic at that number and would get major headlines in
conspiracy newspapers. (*personal flame ends here*)

AT&T is not by any means dropping support on the UNIX PC. In fact they have
just announced a number of new options for it, including an external
expansion backplane, and have just released SVR3, a voice compression and
storage board for phone messaging/voice mail, and ethernet TCP/IP for it.

This is not a bunch of hype, I really like these.
