: a base priced '386 UNIX machine going to run?

I am buying a 386 right now, and so I have an actual quote in
my hand:

For a Wyse 386, 2 Meg RAM, VGA & color monitor, 80MB Seagate, sales
tax and a hefty discount because they like our company: $5600.

Add in a 2400 baud modem for, I guess, $200.

And a UNIX for something around $1000. (Less if you
use Microport, more if you use SCO.)

Call it $7000.

Definitely not catfood money.
