(This is for a standard floppy based distribution set for apples to apples comparision.) But this price also *seems* to include the TCP/IP and RFS which is extra $$$ for other 386 publishers. A good thing about buying the whole ENIX thing is that Everex has a *very* inexpensive ethernet card: 8 bit cards are under $200!!! They claim their ENIX will support these. That makes for very cheap networking: an 8 port serial card for uucp is twice that much and we know how much fun serial ports are on these boxes. For my part I think competition helps everyone.
