Hmmmm, last time I looked Series/1 were in the 50 -> 100K realm.  Someone
in the know please post how much it will cost to connect 32 terminals
to an IBM 4381, this should include:

	I believe a channel interface between the Series1 and the 4381.
	1 Series1 and all that it needs (disks?)
	1 UNIX "license"
	reasonable amount of disk space that have to be added as "mini-disks"
		to VM
	32 3101's

I think it will be a real eye opener for those on the net who have only
bought IBMPC's from Big Blue.


Who says you can't make money on UNIX?
