You're probably thinking of 386BSD, by Bill and Lynne Jolitz. It was initially based on the 4.3BSD Net/2 release.
Out of that grew NetBSD and FreeBSD, with the former focused on multi-platform portability and the latter being very PC-centric. During the course of their development, both were re-based onto 4.4BSD-Lite.
While there were other forks here and there, those three remain to carry the BSD legacy.
There was also BSD/386, a commercial variant by BSDi which was based in part on the Jolitz' original 386BSD work.
This is why I love this group, those missing details, Thanks. Yes it was BSD/386. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
