Thanks David...I appreicate the time you took to explain things.  The 
question of how A/UX performs in demanding situations is still open,
however.  It is slow?  Should I think of A/UX as a great 'single-user'
Unix system that solves connectivity issues?

Hey all you beta-testers...what's your experience with the system?  My
own initial reaction to an early beta system was positive, and I was
impressed with all the *real* Berekley enhancements (e.g. job control)
to the software.  I was also impressed with the ability to access the
Mac Toolbox from A/UX, but I didn't have any chance to benchmark the
system in terms of how fast it ran with multiple-processes and other
disk intensive operations.

Thanks again!  Information anyone?
