Department of strange questions:

All you people out there that have now had a chance to play with a
Next box--Have any of you tried hooking up a fistful of terminals
to it and using it as *system* instead of a workstation?  If so,
how did you do it? (My guess would be an NIU and a chunk of RG-59
cable.)  How many terminals will it support under what knid of loading?

Of course, it's possible that the Next *can't* be used this way and
we have Yet Another Single User Machine--but I'd like to think that
isn't true.
