> I thought NS3000 was bundled with either 5.0 or 5.5?

The LanLink software component is bundled into 5.0 and later releases.
This gets you TCP/IP, sockets, and the Inbound VT NS service.  These
are the components you need to have PCs connect to the system via VT
lan connections, and to run any 3rd party or freeware applications
(like web servers) that want TCP/IP networking capabilites.

I've not heard of any plans to bundle the full NS/3000 product.  NS/3000
gives you *outbound* (3000<->3000) VT, :DSCOPY, full RPM service, remote
database and file access, and maybe one or two other things.  With FTP
having been bundled, and outbound telnet now available (and supporting
3000<->3000 with inbound telnet in 5.5) there is much less need for the
full NS/3000 package.  Also, Quest's NetBase/Shareplex is typically used
for remote file and database access over NS's RFA/RDBA.
