  Several thoughts about the 2U license. There are some applications for
which it is perfectly fine. It gives a uucp login and console, and if
that's what the user needs it's a chance to buy at a lower price.

  I do think all the virtual consoles should count as one user, since
there is no practical way more users could share it. That should not
make ATT unhappy, although it requires a smart user counter.

  There is a company which is packaging the 2U unix with a 6 port serial
board for a very cheap price. My first impression is that they are
leading people into a false conclusion, but I haven't gotten to them yet
because of the timezone diference.
