It might be worth your while to look at QNX by Quantam Software.  It is a
Real-Time Operating system that runs on '286 machines (should run on a '386)
in protected mode.  It permits running DOS in real mode (if you have enough
memory). It also has some very powerful networking capabilities, using 
Arcnet.  Quantam advertises monthly in Byte, or contact me via e-mail for
more details.
