There is a 2-user version of both 286 and 386 XENIX available. I don't have a price sheet handy, but I think the 286 version goes for $295, and the 386 version for $395. This is about half the unlimited-user prices of $595 and $695 respectively. These are operating system-only prices, but there are 2-user complete packages as well (operating system, developement system, and text processing). As I said, these prices are from memory and may not be correct, so contact your dealer or sales rep to be sure. You can also upgrade the 2-user version later on to an unlimited-user version. The 2-user version allows logins on all 12 of your console multiscreens, but only one serial port. All the serial port drivers are still there, and you can use them for other things (data collection, outgoing UUCP, etc.), you just can't put a getty on more than one at a time. The primary use for a package like this is for a workstation, where only one person would be using the machine. If you don't need the extra users, this is definitely the way to go.

Seems the only reason anybody would want GT is to run SCSI which will also be supported by the Unix vs. Fred -- This is my house.
