   Well, BYTE January 1990 has a short article in the UNIX /bin column on
several *nix implementations for the 386 (and one for the 286), including
Esix System V/386.  I'd quote, but it's illegal and someone might not take
kindly to it.  So I'll just tell you that it's the most inexpensive "real
Unix 3.2" they found.  The prices they list (US$) are $399 for two users,
$595 for the operating and development systems, and $825 for unlimited
users (operating and evelopment systems, X Window System, Streams, and
RFS).

   They only give Esix one paragraph plus the quick summary of prices
and address and phone number, so don't bother buying BYTE if you just want
to find out about Esix.
