  I saw V/386 demoed with Xwindows and Merge386 at UNIFORUM. I don't
know if it's shipping. SCO normally includes "virtual terminals" to
allow multiple full screen logins from the console. I'm told that it
wasn't in some of the beta versions, I have no idea if it is in the
regular release, but I assume that it will be available shortly.

  Your problem is finding a hi-res screen with a driver for either
system. The last time I asked they didn't even support the 43 line mode
of an EGA, much less any of the better modes. It would be easy but time
consuming to write your own.

|Do these System V's come with the Berkley "r" programs (rlogin, rcp, etc), or
|are you stuck with telnet and ftp?.
  No problem. They don't come with any enet support, allowing you to buy
from a vendor who offers what you need. The Excelan. The last I hear
they offered some of what you want, but not SMTP (what I want).

|How about C-shell, Korn shell, and screen editors?
vi come with, MicroEMACS runs, I am told that GNU will run but I haven't
been able to try it. ksh is available compiled for Xenix/286 and will
run on 386, csh comes with. You can compile a 386 version of ksh if you
have the source.
