[Conor say 386/IX is similar]

I'm running Bell Tech 3.2 (NOT 3.2u, I'm waiting for that) with Lachman
TCP/IP, NFS, X and both a regular serial port and a Bell Tech ACE card;
I have yet to see any slowdown yet that can't be attributed to a 16MHz
'386 and only 4 megs of RAM. I've got an ENET586 card, for what it's
worth.
