Microport 286 will run fast on a 386.  We did this waiting for our first
386 release from uport.  However, buggy 286 code and slow large model code
will still be just as buggy.  Ouch.  I would recommend anyone with a 386
spring for real 386 UNIX.  (ESIX is cheapest with usual caveats of "you
get what you pay for.")
