The FAQ claims that it does, but ISTR recent discussion about removing the software emulation. However, a search of the mailing lists, and Google, fails to show anything, so it is completely possible that my memory is playing tricks on me.

If that support has gone by the wayside, I'll go ahead and change that part of the FAQ, oth4erwise, I'll leave it alone.

(And yes, I just saw the 386 announcement, so I know about that.)

NAFAIK. NetBSD still does, though.
