I am contemplating the purchase of one of the 386 Unix variants. One motivation and important requirement is that the implementation be able to support a guest DOS network application that talks to an Ethernet interface (WD 8003 or Interlan 5210). Two examples are ftp's LANWATCH and a Novell workstation shell; i.e. login to a Novell file server as a DOS process under Xenix or Microport. Is anyone doing this? Any information on the various 386 Unix offerings' relative abilities to accomodate a DOS application with the attendant network device driver would be greatly appreciated. Advanced thanks for replies,
