We, too, have been evaluating Lynx as our new platform for a 386 based product.
While we have been quite impressed by its speed, we have been somewhat dismayed
by its lack of compatability to other System V products.  Also, because they
have made several h-w mods (to a plug-in board) we have great doubts as to
how well it works in other P-C's.  We tried a Compaq 386/20 with no luck.
We would prefer something that runs on standard hardware (if possible).

Good luck and let me know how you make out with Lynx.
