  Just as a comment I think this varies to taste. At work we like VP/ix
for speed on the console, and Merge for ability to do graphics with X.
We were so loud about this that one vendor is currently putting both in
his V.4 alpha release, waiting for a solution. Both will probably be
available, one standard.

  I also like VP/ix for getting at foreign devices, but both are fine
products, and I use both of them almost every day.
