-Fine. Suggest a name that is unequivocally superior and get people to
-agree on it. I don't care. I just want to count the votes.

	Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing information about the other
386 based Unix's. Comp.unix.xenix has a nice smattering of postings
about the various Xenix's ( eg. Tandy 6000, IBM PC-Clone, Altos ), so
what would be wrong with comp.unix.i386 supporting all 386 based Unix's?

	It would be nice to have just one group to read for information
about 386 based Unix's, instead of having to read both
comp.unix.microport and comp.unix.xenix, plus several other possibly
useful groups.

	just my two bits....
	Eric
