- Yup, the Alpha based workstations also sport basic rate interfaces.

- Chris, however, thankfully is not completely correct about the state of the
- software project; while the group that housed the ISDN software is being
- disbanded, the project itself is continuing (though being moved to New Hampshire)
- and we hope to hold onto at least some of the people; this is from a
- conversation I just had with the engineering manager involved. The project is
- pretty far along at this time.

- As to when the software will get out the door, on what machines, as it isn't
- committed and announced software you'll have to go talk to your Digital Salesman.
