   Well this may be OK, but I would rather see it broke down into the 
different vendor catagories under the specific processors. Here is an
example of what I mean:

comp.unix.i286			General 80286 UNIX discussions
comp.unix.i386			General 80386 UNIX discussions
comp.unix.i286.microport	For System V/AT
comp.unix.i386.microport	For System V/386
comp.unix.i386.ix		For IX from Interactive for the 80386
comp.unix.i286.xenix		For 80286 Xenix
comp.unix.1386.xenix		For 80386 Xenix 

 I know this idea will create a half dozen new groups, but it will certanly
keep similar interests togeather. Also there should be no big deal about 
several subdivisions, it's only a couple extra subdirectories on our systems :-)
