We are going to be in the market for a new 386 system to run either Xenix
or 386/Unix on.  I would like to find a system for which there is on-site
service available from a major company.  I'm also growing quite fond of
SCSI, so a vendor which offers the Adaptec SCSI host adapter line as an
option would be a big plus.

To head off a few obvious responses, IBM and Compaq have been ruled out.
They're just too expensive.

One that I've noticed already is Dell.  How well do the Dell systems and
Xenix/Unix get along?

What are some others I might consider?

Thanks.
