Unix, OS/2, and MS-DOS in the same room?

[Michael Nowak]

Here at the University of Michigan, we have an old MS-DOS training facility
with 16 IBM PCs.  We are planning on upgrading the lab by fall to 286 or 386
based machines (possibly PS/2s) so we can run more complex DOS applications
as well as new OS/2 applications.  We'd also like to be able to do UNIX OS
(preferably BSD 4.2 or 4.3 as that's what we're running on our Suns) training
as well.  This would include user training on some shell, various
UNIX utilities, and so on.  We may also want to run XWindows as well.
Solutions which provide NFS connectivity would also be preferred.

It seems there are two choices for running UNIX in this training lab:  either
run UNIX native on the machines (run Xenix, AIX, or some 286/386 based Unix),
or use them as terminals (using Locus' PC-Interface and Xsight products for
example) into a traditional Unix host like a Sun, Vax, etc.

Are there other options that have been used?  Does anyone have any experience
in setting up this kind of training facility?  If you have any suggestions,
please mail me at one of the addresses below.  I'd really appreciate it.
I'll summarize all responses to the net.
