- It does not, and so far as I know there is no intention to support it
- in the near future. But I have no special information here.

- As things stands, you need to use the IPTALK version, which requires
- you to have a fastpath or gatorbox or something of the sort running
- IPTALK that you can use to do the translations for you. If you're
- hooking up to the campus network, this should not be a big problem. In
- fact, you might want to talk to me more particularly about what you're
- trying to do; I'm in charge (more or less) of setting up the
- NeXTstations that are going to be in each of our computer clusters,
- and they are going to be doing exactly what you want to be doing. In
- addition, we're writing some user authentication code. Drop me a line.
