     I have an application which requires a machine which will be an
   ftp server, and be accessed by a number of people. It will be on a
   386, and I am looking for the cheapest (reliable) version of UNIX I
   can run.

If UNIX isn't an absolute requirement, I'd run a NOS version of KA9Q.

It'll cope with being on two nets at once but not forwarding between them.
It'll do anon ftp server.  No NFS client or server, that's not ideal.
It'll do SLIP, PPP.

grape.ecs.clarkson.edu is one of these.

this for comp.binaries.ibm.pc, nu?
