We actually use an AT&T 386/20 without FPU at depaul for our primary name 
server running 386bsd + patchkit it's been up for over 8 months without a 
crash no problems what-so-ever.  It does a better job than our VAX and SUN.  
We have ~2000 machine in the database.  (The machine does have 8mb of memory)
