Does vp/ix allow users logged in on terminals (vt102, maybe vt220 or vt320)
to run applications meant for dos?  or do you have to be on the console?

Can terminal users run more than one dos app at a time?

I know a lot of this stuff is available for xenix (see keywords) but I'd
rather use vp/ix if it'll work the way I want.

What kind of performance do you get when 8-10 users are using vp/ix?  
What about 4-5 users?  I was thinking of either a 25mhz or 33mhz machine
with 4 or 8 megs of ram.

(-: Thank you for your support :-)
