What good is an ethernet with no software to use it??  That's why all of
the UN*X machines on campus here run 4.2BSD with TCP/IP networking rather
than Sys V.  I wouldn't consider a box like that in a University environment
unless it had a *real* ability to do high-speed networking to the rest of
the computers here on campus, and that means 4.2BSD right now.

Other than that, I sounds great;  I'd love to have something like that on my
desk.
