I have found VP/ix 386 to be extremely robust and amenable to new hardware through its DDA configuration system. And the comm ports work at 9600 almost anytime (if I start another DOS job they do slow down). I'm sure there's *something* only Merge allows -- there usually is, and vice versa -- but neither one's a shoddy product. -- Perestroika: could \O\ Tom Neff it happen here? \O\ uunet.uu.net!bfmny0!tneff
