Wrong, AT&T is selling the utility package for $225.  I
ordered it 2 weeks ago and received it 1 week ago in preparation
for the 3B1 I'm getting soon.  You can order via credit card by
calling 800-527-6888.

They also quoted me a price of $935 on a tape backup system
and $275 on the DOS73 board (which they said would run only
75% of the IBM PC software that's out there).

If anyone knows of a cheaper tape backup system, please post
or email to me.  Thanks.

I don't know what they're selling Unix 3.5 for since it's coming
with my 3B1.
