Hmm... We were told nearly two years ago that Wang would release a
port of Unix in "three to four weeks." Does anyone know if it's
shipping? They have also been promising to release an Ethernet
interface with TCP/IP for at least a year now. Has anyone heard
of it yet, either?

I wouldn't base a business decision on Wang's promised delivery
dates. I've seen some of our customers get burned several times
by counting on Wang's promises...
