	I am part of a group from my school (Ohio Wesleyan, actually,
and not Cornell) putting together a small network of workstations.
I have been looking at Sun, 386 machines w/ SCO Xenix, PS/2 w/AIX,
Mac w/ A/UX, and the NeXT.  

	One thing I have not found, however, is plain ASCII UN*X
workstations.  For political reasons, we need current, supported
machines, else something like the 3b1 would be perfect.  Does anyone
know of such a machine?  I want one because the powers that be don't
want to actually spend money on UN*X as it is, plus all I really do
is program, and personally, I'd rather see other machines with the
pretty graphics so that everyone will leave me alone with the UN*X
boxes :-).

	Any info would be appreciated.  Replies can be directed to
the address below (the ones in the header are because pieces of the 
campus net here are down, and I can't get to the addresses below at
the moment.
