It's been decided ... The majority of responses said that this time slot
was the best ...

	** Tuesday, June 13, from 6PM-8PM **

I got about 20 replies from people going to the Summer USENIX Technical 
Conference and Exposition this June.  I thank those who expressed an 
interest in attending a BOF for the AT&T UNIX PC/3B1/PC7300, I hope to 
see you all there.  I would also be interested in keeping an up-to-date 
list with anyone else who planned on being there, and wanting to attend.  

Suggestions for discussion topics are:

Hardware realm ... 2nd hard drive modifications and the various techniques
for doing this, SCSI board work, Mondo combo board, adding 3.5" floppy 
drives, Voice Power boards, IBM PC-BUS bridge, tape drives, packet radio,
etc...

Software realm ... TCP/IP (SLIP), security issues with the 3B1 (or lack 
thereof) [ie. how-to make more secure], BSD sockets, 3.51[cd] and the
impending fixdisk... 

Miscellaneous realm ... AT&T support of this machine (or lack thereof),
How do we stand as a group for support of the UNIX pc, nostalgic
Convergent and AT&T history ...

Please mail if you haven't already, and you plan on attending, to
unixpc-bof at icus.islp.ny.us.

Alex Crain has volunteered to supply our BOF with some UNIX pc's ... 
He said at least one, but possibly more!!   I thank him in advance.
