	Does anyone have any experience with running unix (either
xenix or sys V.3) on a Vesta 386 box? 	The Vesta purports to be a
$2700 "Compaq 386" clone. The price is certainly right.

	Here is what got me interested in this box. Specs: 1Mbyte
dram, 40 Mbyte ST-261 hard disk, 1.2M floppy, WA-2 fd/hd controller, 1
serial port, 1 parallel port, clock, 200w power supply, 101 key
keyboard, all for the $2700.

	I don't have one of these boxes (yet), but I know someone that
does. He says it works just fine for DOS, for what that's worth.
