Sure. XENIX was intended as a UN*X-style NOS that
would allow a 286 AT to
serve a flock of XT clients. It could use protected mode, IIRC.
Boy, you got that right! It wasn't even better than 3Com 3+Share
(and that was MS-DOs based)! I lost alot of nights sleep (and almost
my shirt!) trying to keep a Lan Mangler 1.1 system up and running.
It was truly suckful at best . . .

Secondly, was there ever a Windows NT 1.0 and 2.0?
How did they compare
to a cheap version of UNIX?
NT prior to 3.x was called MS LAN Manager, and didn't compare particularly
well to anything. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ __________________________________________
