You must have forgotten which magazine you were reading!!  If it was
Byte (and it was), then anything more complicated than setting up
a MS-DOS, intel-based IBM or IBM-clone is _TOO_ complicated.  They
seem to think the "computer professionals" in this world base their
life on MS-DOS.  Sorry to disappoint them with the harsh reality---
REAL PEOPLE DO USE UNIX.  If the 386i is similiar to the previous
Suns, it will not take a guru to set it up.  Just someone with common-
sense and a little bit of Unix background.   --oh, add patience.
