I would think that if your were going to run stright IBM on the one
hand, I would run stright AT&T on the other.  Get a 386E from AT&T and
put their SVR3.2 on it.  That way you can claim stright from the source
comparison...  I don't knowhow they'll stack up.

IF you are gonna review the packages do a sub-segment on "what you have
to buy separately" with a disclamer about bundling by sub distributors.

I would also be interested in the number/type of other-companies
computers that will run the two packages or ports thereof.

How much of a bitch is support.
an "as advertised" check on promary features (like simultask and xenix
compatibility or whatever IBM's equabilant are if any and vice versa.)
n-stuff like that.

Rob.
