I run UNIX & MS-DOS simultaneously on an AT&T 6300PLUS '286 system.
It came with HoneyDanBer UUCP already working -- just fill in the
screen form telling it how to dial and login to the local backbone site.
I spent one Sunday bringing up netnews, starting with the PD source
distribution.  (Now that I've done it, if any other 6300PLUS-users
want it, it's available here, free, any time!)

Definitely worth it!
