Hello, fellow real-time developers!

I'm doing an evaluation of the latest real-time networked kernels for MC680x0
based boards, and I'd like some opinions from people who have used any of the
following OS packages for a significant period of time:

    pSOS+ (w/ pROBE+, pREPC+, pNA+, etc.)
    VRTX (VRTX32 w/ VRTX Velocity)
    VxWorks (version 5.0 or similar, w/networking & X-windows)
    Uniflex
    
I'm particularly interested in the kinds of insights that I wouldn't be able to
get in a 30-day perusal of the packages, which is what I'm doing now.  If you
have any strong opinions about any of these products, I would appreciate it if
you could e-mail me your thoughts.  I would prefer that you not post a follow-up
in this group, as I don't want to start a "this kernel stinks" or "this OS is
better than that other OS" kind of thread in here.


Thanks in advance.
