Talk to AT&T. This is their idea. We wouldn't have bothered with it (I believe) if their lawyers hadn't decided to make us do it. It's their scheme and their implementation. They get a bunch more royalty for machines with more than 2 users. This may change with V.4, since I understand that the royalty schedule is going to change once again (as it has for just about every release since V.2). --Darryl Richman -- Copyright (c) 1989 Darryl Richman The views expressed are the author's alone darryl@ism780c.isc.com INTERACTIVE Systems Corp.-A Kodak Company "For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, elegant, and wrong." -- H.
