I am in the market to buy a new computer, was interested in buying
a PC/AT compatible, because of the cost, and the availability of UNIX
System V port (Microport).  Does anyone out there have any suggestions
to which PC/AT Compatible?  How much?  How compatible (I want it to be
able to run everything (Flight Simulator) except for BASICA which no
compatible can run!)  I am looking for a system that will have the
ability to expand to >1M of memory, lots of expansion slots, 20+ Meg
hard drive, 1.2M floppy, etc...

Does anyone have opinions on Microport UNIX, I seem to have missed
some of the deliberation on that product.  Does it actually run
MULTI-USER?  What about Xenix? Can that run multi-user as well?  Has
anyone heard of a VMS port?   Can I hook up for a news feed? UUCP & BITNET?

			Please mail responses to me, I will compile
			in summary the results:
