I bought one!

here is what you get for $200.00
	boot disk                       1 disk
	386/ix version 1.0.5  core      4
	basic networking                2
	file management utils           1
	kernel configuration            3
    spell utils                     1
    terminal utils                  2
    tcp ethernet for micom          2
	vpix                            1
    ten/plus                        2

you need to plan to get of att docs. the stuff only comes w/ the system
administration manuals.

interactive has a special deal going this month.  you can upgrade to 1.06
for $100.00 and from 1.06 to 2.1 for another $100.00

you need to tell interactive that you want to upgrade to 1.06 
before you upgrade
to 2.1 or you will pay more money!  the price to go directly to 2.1 from
1.05 is $380!!!  interactive plans to release 2.1 in march.  you cannot
buy 2.0

so the bottom line is that you can get interactives latest release for $400.00.
the list price for 2.1 is way up there!!!!

if you live outside of houston you still might want to give digital data
a call.  my budy in cincinnati had the software shipped to him COD.

cheers,
