	Pick up a copy of "Unix World" or "Unix Today"  In the back
they list used 3B systems forsale.  The XM box is a great option, if the
software to run it is included.

	Most machines:
		3B2-300 2mb ram, 72mb drive, 1 i/o card ~$1,800.00

	I have a 2mb system.  I wish that I could put more ram in my box!!!
However, the cost is prohibitive.  As for the upgrade:  I heard that SYSV.3x
will run on the 3B2/300 but not as fast as on the 310.  Also, SYSV.4x will not
run on the 300 only on the 310 and up.

	Though I love AT&T, Nothing they sell for the 3B2 line is at a
reasonable price.
