[Posted also to comp.org.usenix because I felt it would be of interest]

As something of a sidebar to all the talk about the Usenix vendor systems
all hooked together on a provided LAN... I just got an announcement in the
mail from /usr/group for the February 88 UniForum in Dallas, whose theme
is to be "Connectivity, Connectivity, Connectivity".  An unauthorized
excerpt from the flyer: "... [the conference] focuses on the intersystem
communications advantages inherent in all UNIX systems..."

Think they'll have a vendor LAN?  I suppose we'll just have to wait and
see.

Anyway, this is pretty quick work; the discussion has only been going on
for a couple of weeks now... :-)
