We've chosen the VRTX OS, mainly for political/historical reasons, however
we still need to get a development environment. Ready Systems do a package 
called RTC/Hyperlink, there's VxWorks, and Teltronix have an environment. This 
all has to run on SunOS BTW. Cost wise there's not much to choose and on paper
they look pretty similar, although VxWorks has all sorts on neat dobberies
for device driving and they've offered to port is for VRTX. 
	What I'd like to know is is there any problem the salesperson isn't
going to tell us about. I'd be glad of any information from someone who has
used the stuff. Once we've chosen I'll be glad to pass on any info or
amusing anecdotes :-).
	Reply be email, or post, as it seems there's a number of interested
parties out there.

	Thanks in advance
