I guess we need to pick a letter (Vanna, I'd like to buy a vowel) - 
what about "u" (for unix?). How does this look:

    comp.sys.att.misc    General discussions about AT&T computers
                .u3b1    3b1's, 7300's and related CT machines
                .u3b2    3b2's, including the 3b2-clones (3b5, 3b15, 3b20..)

Maybe not the prettiest solution, but it should be workable.
