I have similar questions, so I echo Monty's query: where is a good
newsgroup to discuss workgroup computing concepts, hardware and software?
Since the mainframes we work on when not on PC's are all moving toward Unix,
we've been wondering about desktop computing solutions for our office of
20 staff who have some need to share files and a great (read, "financial")
need to share peripherals.  What works, or might work?  Unix on a powerful
386 machine and a host of terminals or AT-workstations in minimal
configurations?  The new Zenith Z-1000 which handles multiprocessing via
multiple 386 cards?  Other ideas, anyone?

Guess I need a pointer to the right newsgroup also.  I can't seem to get
much documentation on the newsgroups we subscribe to other than their
names, which isn't always enough...
