You bet they're still alive.  GS/OS was upgraded to System 6.0 last March,
and 6.0.1 is due out fairly soon with EtherTalk support.  Rumors persist of
TCP/IP and NCSA Telnet.  In the meantime, there's plenty of cool freeware/
PD/shareware being released plus the occasional knockout commercial ware like
Out of this World.
