- DEC has such a product already, called PATHWORKS. It can use any VAX
- or any RISC Ultrix machine as a server (also supports OS/2 servers,
- and will reportedly support NT when NT hits the streets). Not perfect,
- but it allows us to use our workstations for central management of the
- proliferation of PC's.
