Keywords: networking? scientific-inteface boards? other suggestions

We are thinking of setting up a science micro-lab for use by physics, cs, and
other assorted science-types.  We want something with guts, decent graphics,
open-architecture, and a reasonable price.  The ST seems like a good candidate,
but what is the availability of add-on boards for analog-digital conversion, 
networking, etc.  I'm trying to get info that will help us choose between the
ST, Amiga, AT-clones, or something else.  (The long-expected Mac is basically
out of the price-range.)

Anyone have any comments, especially regarding add-on's.

Thanks,
Stefan Brandle
