Hi there.

I just got ahold of 13 CounterPoint Unix workstations.  I'm trying
to decide what to do with them, and any information would help tons!

They have the AT&T nameplate on them, but all attempts to find out from
them have been futile.  CounterPoint seems to be out of business...

These babies are pretty cool.  68020, bitmapped display.  X windows.
ST-506 style drives (180 mb), ethernet (boots diskless, too!)

They have what seems to be a solid version of SVr3 on them.

Any ideas/info/help will be rewarded.
