I wish NeXT offered a machine without ethernet.  My NeXTstation lives at
home, far away from the prying eyes of my boss and the ethernet.  I suspect 
that a significant portion of NeXTs end up never being connected to the 
ethernet, which is a travesty but definitely a reality.  Why not sell some 
NeXTs with a fast FAXmodem/ISDN built in instead of the ethernet card?  
If it were possible I'd cut the ethernet off of my NeXT's board and sell it to 
pay for my Supra. Dropping the ethernet (and therefore the price) on some 
low-end stations would help sales, especially to students.  Perhaps NS486 will 
fill this gap, or is NeXT going to require that all of the NeXTstep PC's have 
ethernet cards?
