Is it not soon time for WRQ to understand that they have to change strategy
because the world is
changing. Soon it will be a question if to buy R1 + NS/open and use NS,
just to buy R1 and use telnet (OK more CPU load at the 3000) or to use some
other terminal emulator
that have the NS included. I think that they need to include NS in the R1 if
they want to survive.
