Group,
I have read about the new 68030 boxes Atari  is  expected  to  sell!   Can
someone supply me the Atari phone number for serious business inquiries ..
NOT consumer info (PLEASE:-), etc, type phone numbers.

Atari  68030  /  Unix  boxes might be useful if they ever come to life and
have useful  pro  level  software  available  ("developer"  level  is  not
acceptable).   Pro  level examples: lisp (Common or maybe Lucid, Symbolics
enviroment preferred), pro quality  C  (BSD  quality)  and  Fortran  (F77)
compilers.   The  current tools appear to be "for the masses", and are not
viable pro quality.  I am interested in quotes for $3-5K,  DISKLESS,  Unix
boxes  with  at  least 1.5-3 VAX drystone MIPs.  Full TCP/IP support, runs
NFS, 4.2 or 4.3 BSD kernel is also required. As I said, they have  got  to
be pro level stuff - or I'm not going to be interested.

Does Atari have or plan to have such a machine? If so, what do  they  plan
to use as a disk file server? 

HP,  Sun (I already have Sun based systems installed), Apollo and DEC have
pro systems that (mostly meet) my specs .. is Atari  going  into  the  pro
market enough to warrent my interest?

Only professional level responses requested.
