I'm running the Merge386 product under Microport UNIX.  I think it's a good
product generally, but I am experiencing problems with serial communications
which you should be warned about.  Simply put, don't expect to be able to
run the usual terminal emulators or file transfer programs that you may be
used to using in the MS-DOS environment.  I don't think they'll work properly.

Memory-wise, I don't know what to tell you.  I've got 4MB, and I can run
multiple MS-DOS sessions concurrently with no problems.  I suspect this is
a practical minimum for acceptable performance, but I have not done any
exhaustive analyses, so don't take my word as gospel.
