	I am running ISC and a friend is running Microport.  The machines
are both Everex Step 386/20's with 4 meg and Seagate ST-4096 Drives.  Both
have been up for just about 8 days now (brand spanking new machines).  
Neither one has had a problem of any kind so far.  Is far as I can tell
the limiting factor on both is definitely the speed of disk i/o.  I'm
happy as can be with it.
