  People have a strange idea of what's a workstation. A Sun2 or 3/50 is
a "workstation," but a 386 running SysV, with NFS and X-windows is
always called "a PC running UNIX." I think it's just name dropping,
myself. We have a few people here running SL/IP to home of 9600 baud
lines. They tell me that V.32 works better than proprietary modes, at
least those from Telebit and Vadic.
