- There is already a DOS server available for Mach 3.0 running on a 386/486,
- I wouldnt be surprised if either NeXT, the net, or a commercial house picked
- it up and polished it up for a "real" product. It's pretty rough (takes over
- the screen) but I do know people who use it on a PC running Mach 3.0. I'd
- wait until NeXT moves NeXTSTEP to Mach 3.0ish before its gonna happen tho
- (they are 2.6ish still with NS 3.0)

- Believe it...or not...
