I was investigating QNX for awhile and I think this is very good
OS for 286 machine.  There are many disadvantage and I never heard
any plans for 386 machine in the future.  I would like to run BBS
in DOS shell but it runs only one dos shell at time and video displays
bleeds through console screen very badly even sysadm is not using this
shell.    I would say QNX is pretty backward as comparing with other 
Unix for 386.   I don't give you all negative commments and I like the
runtime benchmark for QNX and this runs fast enough to run ms-dos
BBS in dos shell without any problem.   I hope QNX developers are 
agressive to take advantage using full 386 power like multi-tasking
and multi-users on ms-dos shells without any direct video problem.
I have never heard of any newsgroup for QNX but there is good FidoNet
echomail on QNX.
