	A/UX is a complete SVR2 implementation (we took the tape and
	started from there.  Therefore, yes, it fully supports multiple
	users and terminals.

	Yup, in addition you can describe nonstandard terminal types
	yourself using terminfo.

	The basic Mac II has 2 serial ports, thus 2 terminals could be
	added.  After that both AST and SuperMac sell 4 port serial
	boards allowing you to add 4 terminals per board.

	I'm not sure what you're asking.  The console is attached to the
	normal video screen.  It's a 34x88 vt100.

	Some number of existing macintosh programs will run under
	A/UX without modification.  Naturally they only run on the
	console since they need a video screen, etc.  In addition
	both Ingres and Oracle have announced ports to A/UX.  A/UX
	comes with tip, cu and uucp, in addition to a full suite
	of TCP/IP play toys (ftp, telnet, rcp, rlogin, remsh, nfs, ...)
