I've been trying to get a hold of Beckemeyer Development by phone for
some time now.  I got the number out of a recent STart magazine and
dialed the number.  It was disconnected, but gave a new number.  I then
called the new number and have only succeeded in getting an answering
machine saying that Beckemeyer Development was not available and would
get back to me soon.  I left a message twice, but have not heard a
thing.  Anyone know what happened to Beckemeyer?

So, I only know what the advertisement said about MT C-shell, which was
that it is multi-user, multi-tasking, runs GEM programs and as an
option, UUCP is available.  Sounds good (maybe too good).  Is it really
multi-user, multi-tasking? I doubt this because someone told me that he
didn't think the Motorola 68000 chip had memory protection mode and, in
light of that, it would be impossible for a 68000 to run multi-user. 
Also, does the MT C-shell come with any Unix utilities and, if so, which
ones? What do people think of it? Is it just as good to get a public
domain, multi-tasking kernal such as MX2?

Thanks for any experiences or knowledge you can share ...
