Well, I've just heard that AT&T announced a VoicePower board for their
WGS 386 computer.  If I am to assume that this machine is a replacement
for the 3B1, references to the sadness with which I note that Motorola
has been abandoned in favor of Intel aside, how does the new machine 
compare?  I guess it's an 80386.  Has a lot of the software been ported?
How does the performance compare?  I guess a full-blown setup costs
nearly $10K (3B1 originally got near $8K with the works), but they're 
pushing the 630 as a montitor.  Does this mean there will be no
UNIX-PC 3.6 OS? Got any information?  Good/bad news?
