It stands for Work Group System, a rather useless modifier. However, the
intent is to stress the Work Group concept which is used by AT&T to categorize
products and integration strategies for various levels of applications. The
Work Groups are: PC, Departmental, Campus, Production, and Corporate, and
include datacomm stuff as well as computers.
This is probably more than you cared to hear, but if you want a multi-hour
presentation, I'm sure your friendly AT&T rep would be pleased to oblige.
