greg - agree not just on telnet but the whole host of unix functionality and systems administration. Now that CPQ is buying DEC, we might see a mfg with real volume and good connections to MSFT who also has a reason to push Unix. question for you - if CPQ developed a version of Unix which had strong internal linkages with NT (say at the API support level) and also preserved the benefits of Unix, would this tend to draw Unix fans more into the NT world, or would it create an opening for wintel users to move more into an environment which had a larger proportion of Unix machines in the mix? Do you think CPQ / DEC could even pull this off?
