WIN TCP/IP v. 2.1 is marketed by AT&T for $3,995 a copy according to the latest
pricing info I have from my sales rep.

I currently have a 3b2 and am looking into upgrade options.
Is the 3b20 the top-of-the-line machine now? What are its capabilities?
I would like opinions on the various members of the 3B family
beyond the 3b5.  Thanks in advance.

I just got a little postcard from "Owens-Laing Publications",
which is, I guess, the publisher of _3B Journal_.  I subscribed
to the Journal a while ago, but have received at most 2 issues
(and I can only put my hands on one of those).  Now they want me
to renew.

While the $25 isn't going to break me (I'll probably have the job
pay for it anyway), I think $12.50 an issue for something that's
marginally useful at best is a little steep.  I guess my question
to the net is "Has anyone been getting issues of this rag?  Did
they jsut screw up my subscription?  Or am I being asked to
finance a vapor-mag?"

Any thoughts?

Eric,

I've never heard of 3B Journal.  Definitely sounds like a
vapor-mag.  I do get UNIX-World & would recommend it to
anyone on the net.

Eric, 

You might pass along that the 3b20 is not top of the line.
We are currently trying to negotiate a business case to 
approve the purchase of 2 3B4000s in exchange for 6 3B20s.

For more info on the 4000 line, contact Chuck Northrup (AT&T)
on 415-830-4409.

The 3B4000 is the top of the 3B line. This is a multiprocessor, so
the performance will depend on your particular configuration (ie,
how many processors you have).
