ibmpcug.co.uk ran SCO Xenix 286 2.2.1 on a Comapq Deskpro 386/16 for
quite a long time.  I ran news on it (SCO's binaries, including their
port of compress, which you can still get binaries of from SCO)
so no hassles.

There should be no problems running 286 Xenix on a 386.  I certainly
had no problems at all.  But the 386 software is so much better, I upgraded
as soon as I could :-)
