We've got a bunch of 1985 vintage Unisys 386 gateway systems that have been running apache / sendmail / cucipop etc for over a year without missing a beat .... only real difference between these & "common or garden variety" 386s is they have 16 RAM slots .... most only have 8 slots so you need to find some of those rare 4Mb sticks. I've found that less than 16Mb tends to cause weird problems, although we do have one 486sx25 running happily on 8Mb (needed 12Mb to install). Most of the gateway boxes have only 250Mb hard drives.
