There is already a DOS server available for Mach 3.0 running on a 386/486,
I wouldnt be surprised if either NeXT, the net, or a commercial house picked
it up and polished it up for a "real" product.  It's pretty rough (takes over
the screen) but I do know people who use it on a PC running Mach 3.0.  I'd
wait until NeXT moves NeXTSTEP to Mach 3.0ish before its gonna happen tho
(they are 2.6ish still with NS 3.0)

Believe it...or not...

la la la,
