I called them and told them I needed a 2-user development system with
networking (ie TCP/IP) and X11R3.  They told me that they sold a
"Workstation" package which should do what I need, and the cost was
something like $1100.  This omits troff and NFS, which will cost a bit
more.  It may also omit VP/ix but that's worthless to me so I didn't
ask.

I expect that by poking around retailers you can get better prices
than list, although I haven't tried it yet.

Eight months is a long time in this business :-).
