This is the opposite direction that I feel we should be going.  With
the 2.3 release of SCO Xenix, Xenix and the other 386 Unixes will be
much more similar, so I think that either the pair
	comp.unix.i286
	comp.unix.i386
should be created, or one group should be created, merging
comp.unix.xenix, comp.unix.microport, and the info-386ix mailing list.
I don't have a good name for it, but something like
	comp.unix.i86
    or	comp.unix.intel
might do.  (Certainly the occasional Xenix/86 question is welcome.)
