As far as I know, there are only three companies which offer Unix (respectively Xenix). The only real Unix SysV R2 Implementation is from Microport I have all offers here. The other plausoible Alternative is SCO Xenix. The only thing of TCP/IP support I know, is that it is offered. However I don't know whether host based with stupid Controllers (3com etc.) That probably doesn' make to much sense anyhow. 80286 based systems only have segmentented storage and thus can only swap. I hope you don't think to let the Mail gateway run over a 80286. You can get already some cheap 386 with Unix SysV R3.
