I'd just like to add a personal testimonial to Larry's story. After supporting forty Xenix/386 installations with Computone IntelliPort [sic] boards, and having more than half -- that's right, HALF -- of them come back as failures, let me say this: Computone's so-called "programmers" have Q-Tips Cotton Swabs[tm] for brains. Their drivers have never failed to be entertaining just when I needed boring success. Computone may clean up their act someday. I don't care. I'll never buy a Computone product again. -- Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT , "The Usenet, in a very real sense, does not exist."
