Xedoc has in fact released NetInfo for Sun Workstations.
A SPARC Server version, RS/6000 & HP (and others) are nearing completion.
NetInfo from Xedoc *is* compatible with NeXT's 3.0 release of NetInfo.

For more information please contact me directly.
Please indicate how you would like to receive the info (ie fax, NeXTMail etc).
