Does anyone in netland own a copy of SCO Xenix or Microport UNIX for
a "286" AT?  I'd like to know if you are happy with it.  I'm thinking
about getting a UNIX port for my AT, but the only reviews I've found
in magazines are for the new 386 versions of Xenix.

I would also be interested in the quality of compiler tools and the
number of bugs in the product in general.  Both these products support
MS-DOS 8086 emulation modes.  Any comments on how well the emulation
works?
