this idea has been gone over and argued multiple times, and was 
discussed heavily when this newsgroup was formed.  it's a BAD idea
for this reason:  it would put the XENIX camp in with the INTERACTIVE
port team (microport/bell tech/etc..).

would all the would-be prophets of the XENIX world stop
their **garbage** postings in comp.unix.microport!

i have purchased microport and am looking for support,
hints, and fixes in this newsgroup.  I am *not* looking for 
some XENIX dweeb expounding upon the virtues of his system
over microports.  this is especially true when he/she/it
apparently has little direct experience with microport.

go home.  if you have information about
microport / bell tech, then feel free to post it here, it's
very welcome.  if you just want to throw your shoulder out
of joint patting yourself on the back, do it in your own
yard.
