[Paul points out that his first announcement fell during what was for
many, Christmas holidays.  That's why I've accepted this dup.  This is
it, though.  There is a regular posting of existing mailing lists that
happens in (I believe) news.lists.  I'm cross-posting this to news.groups
to be sure that the maintainer of the list of mailing lists sees it.  -mod]

There is now a mailing list for discussion of INTERACTIVE Systems Corp's
UNIX(tm) 386/ix product.  The list is not sponsored or controlled by
INTERACTIVE, although they have joined the mailing list.

For those who don't know, INTERACTIVE was the contractor principally
repsonsible for porting AT&T UNIX System V.3 to the 386 architecture.  The
version of UNIX V.3 shipped by AT&T with their 6386 systems, by Microport
as "Microport System V/386", and Bell Technologies as "UNIX System V/386"
are all derived from the code ported by INTERACTIVE under contract to
Intel and AT&T.  Therefore, much discussion about INTERACTIVE's 386/ix
product is also relevant to AT&T's, Microport's, and Bell Technologies'
80386-UNIX products.  Users of these other products may find this mailing
list useful.

The mailing list is based at Vixie.UUCP, which is reachable through several
different major paths:

	{ptsfa,uunet,hoptoad,qantel,ubvax,crash}!vixie!...
	{ames,sun,hplabs,pyramid,ucsfmis,dual}!ptsfa!vixie!...
	{well,amdahl,amdcad,academ,ihnp4,ucsfcgl}!hoptoad!vixie!...

>From the ARPAnet:

	...%vixie%uunet.uu.net

"..." in the above examples can be

	info-386ix-request	for administrative stuff like adding names
	info-386ix		for submissions to the list

There are about 20 people on the list so far, and traffic is light so far.  I
sent out the first announcement of this list over the Xmas holidays, so many
of you may not have seen it.  I plan to post something every month or so to
catch new users of 386/ix as they pop up.
