I am looking for a UNIX for my 386 PC.  I thought I had decided on Interactive,
but I'm having doubts after reading about their support policy.  What I'm
looking for in a UNIX, sepcifically is:

	AT&T System V Release 3 compatibility
	Price
	Popularity (so I'm not the only customer trying to solve problems)
	Service & support

ISC wins the popularity contest (I think, judging from the number of articles
posted), but I don't know anything about things like ESIX.  Please E-mail me
information that would make you choose (or not choose) a particular UNIX.

Thanks
Mike Lindner
