<Even QNX seems pretty cool - I've tried the demo. If I can get my hands on

I havent looked into QNX or BeOS so I can't comment. What are they and
what do they cost?

QNX is the OS that coems on the iOpener. Its a small modular graphical OS
that you can boot from a 1.44 meg floppy.
BeOS is a somewhat larger OS - it's very unix like with an integrated GUI
and a modern C++ API.
QNX is designed mostly for the embedded market. BeOS is more a desktop OS,
although there is a light version of it that is designed to compete in the
Internet Applience market.

While the effort is noble, I suspect the repeated "my IP address
changed" messages will grow old quickly. Perhaps the changes could be
posted somewhere such that interested parties can obtain the
information over the web, or with finger?

I agree... the updates *have* grown old already... they are
a waste of bandwidth... I tried one of them and got to an
OS/2 system... I'm not sure if it counts yet as classic... it
surely is not as interesting as an RT/RSTS/RSX/TOPS10/ITS system
might be...
The DG hardware may be more interesting... but I'm not famliar
enough with them to know what to do with it...
Either way, I agree that it would probably be more useful to put
the info up on a web page somewhere, send us all one (1) pointer
to it... and those who are interested will bookmark it to check
what the address is...
Just my $.02

BeOS 4.5 is a commercial product, $69.95 I believe. BeOS 5.0 will be
freely downloadable, supposedly by the end of the month. You can get some
more info at www.be.com.
QNX is a commercial product (products) which is a microkernel
posix-compliant system. It's really designed for embedded devices; the
only pricing I've seen shows that the development kits run in the $4K
range for Photon and around $2K for QNX4. They offer a freely-downloadable
system on their website that fits on a floppy; a full windowed interface,
tcp, web-browser - and downloadable module additions on their website.
Pretty cool...
