Regarding the discussion that has been going on here about connecting
PCs to RS/6000s, this configuration is the standard client/server model
we at the new Wang Labs are now shipping to our customers.  The idea is
that there are millions of installed PCs on desktops and these users can
now be upgraded to having an RS/6000 POWER server, allowing them to
preserve and enhance their existing PC investments (and applications).
You can contact the Wang RS/6000 professionals in any of our offices
worldwide for further information, or to have them do the actual
installation.  The new Wang Labs is a RS/6000 global services provider,
offering complete RS/6000 life cycle services from needs analysis to
multi-vendor hardware and software service.  The Wang RS/6000-PC
professionals can perform the following RS/6000 implementation services:
pre-installation software planning, configure TTYs and printers in
SMIT, setup user profiles, establish security access, establish
logical volumes and file systems, setup CRON jobs for backups,
and perform full system BACKUPs and BOSboot diskettes, for example.
A typical Wang activity would be installing MS Windows on the PC
clients and customizing the menus, as another example.
