You're going to love this Walt! In the best of Sun gouging tradition not
only is it not free but ...

First you must order the new IPC software V1.2. This version runs only
under Sun OS V4.0 and costs $495. However you might get in on a sale if
you order it before Dec. 31 and you have software maintenance on it.
Secondly, you need PCNFS V3.0. You may order an upgrade for this for only
$200. For more information dial the 1-800-USA-4-SUN number and press
option 6 (telemarketing). PS. Nobody really has one up and working yet as
this stuff is all new.

Disclaimer -- Of course these opinions are solely mine. No one in thier
right mind would blaspheme Sun.
