Will my ZDS system run windows 3.1?

A memo dated July 29, 1992 was recently posted to this news group in which
availability of DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 upgrades for ZDS Education 
Customers was discussed.  This memo included a list of ZDS systems
and information about their compatability with DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1.

I have a Zenith 386/SX desktop machine which is only identified as a 
Z386SX on the machine and in the manual.  The specifications say 
that it is a 16 MHz.  386 SX machine.  (For other information, it 
appears to have a Z-549A VGA card, 2 Meg RAM, 40 Meg hard drive, 
1.44 Meg 3.5" floppy).

The compatibility list in the referenced memo includes the following
systems which are apparently desktop 386SX systems:

Model #                  MICROSOFT WINDOWS     MS-DOS VERSION 5.0
                     VERSION 3.1 COMPATIBILITY      COMPATIBILITY

Z-316/SX                 Call CAC                    Yes
Z-320/SX                 Call CAC                    Yes
Z-386SX/20                 Yes                       Yes
Z-386SX/25                 Yes                       Yes

Now the questions:

Is my Zenith system one of the listed ones or another one which is no
longer supported?

If it is one of the "Call CAC" systems, what is required to make it run
Windows 3.1?

If it is not one of the listed systems, can it run Windows 3.1?  What is
required?
