To run 286 UNIX on a PC, there are basically 3 choices:
 
SCO XENIX
Microport UNIX
Interactive UNIX
 
All of them are based on UNIX system V, and SCO XENIX is probably the
most different, but also has the most extentions. I don't know of any BSD
versions for the 286.
 
I'll comment on SCO XENIX a bit here, because that's what we use here.
 
SCO XENIX the most expensive, I it very reliable (although some
disagree), has easy install and system maintenance programs, and has a
lot of ready-to-use applications like: Foxbase (like dBASE), Lyrix
(wordproc), Professional (1-2-3).
 
Since this IS the wrong group, I won't make it too long...
 
I don't know about prices too much, but in Amsterdam, you can call:
Radix B.V. 020-142463 which sells all 3 flavours, to get a relative
comparision.
