I believe it was mentioned aways back in the message stream, but perhaps it's worth reconsidering at this juncture...
Keep the low emi/rfi 386 machine user-proximity but convert it to an X server with the more capable X client (app server) machine farther away. -----Original Message----- From: Douglas A.

The reasoning I've heard is that the amount of memory required is too much for any remaining actual 386 boxes to actually have. I know that my old PS/2 Model 70-A21 was a 386 with 4 MB Ram (at $1K per MB) and I think it could take a maximum 16 MB (but my memory from 1988 is very fuzzy). Where there any 386 boxes that could take 32MB ram, and do any still exist? Doug.
