Are you suggesting that NeXTs are harder to integrate into mixed networks than  
Macs? NeXTs come with (STANDARD!) ethernet + TCP/IP + NFS + RPC + etc + etc. It  
all works very well (even with NetInfo). Macs come with what? A serial port and  
appletalk? How is that going to get a Mac connected to a network of suns and  
HPs or any other popular workstation? Many Macs can't even be expanded to add  
ethernet. I think that NeXT wins over Mac in the networkability arena hands  
down (especialy with 3.0 - system 7 networking will be nothing compared to 3.0  
networking).
