Hi Noel.  I am running VP/ix 1.01.01 from Interactive under 386/ix
on both the primary console and remote serial terminals - and it runs
just dandy so far - and I haven't experienced the problems you have
mentioned.

I did however have a problem running the Computone board with UUCP
under 386/ix - come to find out that both the Computone and the Digiboard
drivers do not correctly support modem control which creates problems
when running uucp.   Computone still hasn't corrected the problem - so
the board is going back - and Digiboard's engineers are aware of the
problem in the driver - and an update will be released within two weeks.
