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.
