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.)
