We have a number of AT clones running DOS and we would like instead to run
Unix with X windows, NFS, etc. Since not many of the Unix extensions
seem to be available on 286 Unix lookalikes such as Xenix, we may
have to upgrade them to 386SX's. (I know they won't be as fast as a real
386, but that won't matter.)

Has anyone done this upgrade? Was it easy or painful, cheap or expensive,
etc.? Any comments gratefully received.
