I have some questions to those in the know: 1. (Ignorant.) What exactly IS NET/2 anyway? 2. Does BSDI make only Intel ports of BSD? 3. Why is only this vendor targeted by USL? Why not Sun Microsystems or any of the numerous other vendors who produce BSD-type systems? 4. Any thoughts on what the effect of a win/loss by USL will be on other vendors?
