It's my understanding that IBM's AIX (at least the version OSF is going to use as a base) includes
TCP/IP and may include NFS.  As to NeWS, I have no information.  I do know that X Window is on the
Level 0 list.

I also understand that Sun had a chance to sign on and chose not to, as did AT&T. 

The opinions expressed above are unsubstantiated rumors.  Surprisingly, they are not those of Apollo
Computer Inc., the Open Software Foundation, or National Public Radio.  8-)
