	I presume that you have a 286, and just want to "get rid" of the 386
articles in this group by creating a group to dump all 386 talk into.
I have a microport 386 system, and I don't want to read articles about
Xenix/Suns/Etc that happen to be running the same processer.

	Why not comp.unix.microport.286  & comp.unix.microport.386?
(or a better, shorter name: comp.unix.uport.286 & 386)

  I too, would like to get rid of all the 286 chatter from comp.unix.microport!
I don't have a 286 and don't need to hear about people fighting segment problems
with all those programs out there that assume that everything is a VAX.

	But then, didn't this all get hashed out here just a short time ago?
