Thanks for the price information. I wrote several times to them, but always
got the same paper without prices.
because all serial lines of our SUN are in use it would be interesting to
learn abt the possibility to run it via a terminal server (micom...).
Because of the slow reactions of Perfect Byte we just started to use
a 'DATAFAX' Box from a German manufacturer. It by now just sends ASCII
texts an I made a driver for the MICOM. They are upgrading to graphics
soon (?).
