} Well, since we are routing OOB data, let me put in my 2 cents.
} Windows NT 4.0 (now awaiting beta 2, shipping in June) will
} support the "ganging" of communications devices. This will,
} for example, allow one to join two modems or two ISDN devices
} together to effectively create a doubled throughput channel.
} A vaporware claim suggests it may even be possible to gang
} dissimilar devices (e.g. analog modem + ISDN) also.
} 
} By the way, since the latest Microsoft reorg, the NT and 95
} groups have been merged and are working from a common code base.
} Microsoft estimates the merged platform will premier in 2 years.
} In January Gates said NT and 95 will be converged when RAM comes
} down 3-fold in price; and TI recently announced wholesale 4M DRAM
} prices fell from $12 to $6.50 - after three years, DRAM prices
} are falling again!
