The latest version is Xenix 3.4, Intel frees up quite a bit of kernal space
in this one, plus fixes some bugs in cu, and several device driver rewrites.
For the military users of the 310, there is a considerable wait to upgrade to
the new 3.4, partly because of Intel, but the biggest hitch was getting the new
release approved by the systems people at Ft Huachuka Az.  

I belive the priorities on upgrade go like this:
	Sites with level A maint. contract and have Open-net
          "                 "  without network.
	System purchased without the update included, and are in the 90 day preiod.
	Then comes about everyone else that may want it.  

For people that like to make as much use of the tunable params as possible, I
would highly recomend 3.4, Intel did a great job of cleaning up the kernal.

Intel is shipping 3.4 with all the new systems, but I don't know the date this
was initiated.
