Might I suggest upgrading it to a GS. There's lot's of very interesting 
sw now available for it, and you'll get much better sound in addition.
There's at least 2 excellent communications' programs which are reliable,
and a third about to appear. You can use HyperStudio for low end multimedia
work (or HyperCard GS, although it's not as good) and use your Cube as a
file server to the GS (via IPT's sw).

I bought a Cube for precisely the same reasons you did. And for precisely
those reasons, it would take an act of God to get me to buy another NeXT
system.

I seriously question the NeXt as a viable computer for education. Let the
developers program for themselves.
