I'm not certain, but doesn't the 386 usually use 4k pages?  I know I just 
dealt with a class on the unix operating system, and we dealt with paging 
algorithms in the course of the class.  Our machines were ATT 386 boxes, 
and I know that we were using 4k pages.

I knew that the page size was hardware dependent, but I never got to thinking
if it was hardware dependent in a range of sizes.
