I said that to use _both_simultaneously_ you need A/UX or MachTen. When you
launch the MacOS from MacMach it appears to take over; although it's running
from under Mach you'd never be able to tell*. You get no access to unix from
the MacMach MacOS. With A/UX you have the CommandShell and can make unix calls;
with MachTen it's similar. Not so with MacMach.

*Actually, since the machine hung if I attempted to use AppleTalk I guess you
_could_ tell... whether AT is unuseable in this situation or that was a bug
I cannot say.
