I was assuming a 386. My specification of a PC was with regard to the
necessary drivers, if any, for a 386 PC. I don't know what AT&T
assumes, it might have been a Sun 386i, or a Sequent, or an Intel box,
or who knows. In any case, AT&T doesn't do retail, you need an ISC or
SCO to sell shrink wrapped kernel binaries. THAT's what I meant by
"port".
