Dose anybody know of a unix or clone software that can be used on a AT286

For $100.00 you can buy Coherent, a Unix clone which runs in protected mode on
the 80286.  This is a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system, that is
suprisingly like UNIX.  It has semaphores, message passing, and shared memory.
I am posting this article to USENET from my Coherent machine.  It is available
from Mark Williams Co. in Northbrook, Illinois.  The Phone number is
1-800-627-5967.
