       I am considering the purchase of a Compaq SLT 386s/20 running SCO Unix
for the development and demo-ing of some X-window applications.  I had to chose
a portable or laptop because most of the demos will be on the road.  The Compaq
has a 20 MHz 386SX, 6MB of memory, 120MB of disc(19ms access), 4K Byte cache,
387SX coprocessor, and a VGA display.

       My questions: 1) Is this machine well suited to the task (i.e. will it be
fast enough?) 2) Is there a better machine(or configuration) for this task?

       My machine does not receive this group, so I would appreciate email
responses, thanx in advance.
