I made a mistake, it's not AT&T that's selling 386 Unix, it's Bell
Technologies. The price is $145 for a 2 user license or $275 for
an unlimited user license. The system is the Interactive Systems
port of Unix System V release 3, certified by AT&T.

Includes "all development tools, C Compiler, link kit, vi and
all other Unix utilities, files and programs, including Remote
File System, Streams, and TLI". Apparently the programmer's manuals
and other volumes are separate. This is from their ad on pg 107
of the May 1988 Unix Review.

Interactive Systems themselves have an ad in the same issue for 386/ix,
which sounds like the same port. No price; ad on pg 7.

Contact Bell Technologies at 800-FOR-UNIX (in CA 415-659-9097).

I have no affiliation etc. Just helping to eradicate the heartbreak
of Half-OS in our lifetimes. :-)
