Summary: How about running DOS under UNIX?

If you have an AT or 386-based system, you can get our UNIX system plus
our DOS Merge package and use your favorite DOS app while UNIX runs in
the background and polls the net at selected times.

I am writing this on a Compaq 386 running UNIX System V, release 3 from
Microport.  We stay up on the usenet with this machine and run multiple
users too.  The DOSMerge package runs MS-DOS as a task under UNIX.

You can get UNIX plus DOS Merge in a special price package from
Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale, CA for $286 for the AT and
$386 for the 386 machines.  You will need more memory (min. of 1.5MB for AT
or 2.5MB for the 386). You can also order it direct from us, but it will 
cost you a little more.
