What is the smallest IBM machine (and what OS) we can buy that will
support BITNET (RSCS)?

I would like to get a UNIX box (preferably AIX/PS2), but I have been told
that AIX/PS2 has no support for RSCS.  (Huh?)  Does AIX/RT support RSCS?
More generally, what are some low-end hardware/software options for
the support of BITNET/RSCS?

I suppose we can get a Sun/4 or a VAX and run the RSCS emulation program
developed by Pennsylvania State University (for BSD-flavor UNIX OS). But
I would like to know what the IBM solutions are currently.

Also, where can I find documentation on RSCS?  What role does it play in
the future of IBM networking?

I'll be very grateful for any help.
