Does this mean there's a SVR4 for the 286?!?  Far out!  I've been wondering
what to do with my old machine, since attempts to upgrade it have failed.
Or does it mean I can send in my old diskettes *and* CPU, and get SVR4 and
a CPU upgrade?  [Sorry (sort of:-)...]

Seriously, what's Microport doing about the 286?  Anything?  I certainly
won't be critical of any company that's no longer interested in the 286,
but it would be interesting to know if Microport has any plans to dust off
old Microport's 286 AT product.
