   Janus has other problems as well.  Commodore has not satisfactorily 
upgraded the Janus software.  In addition to the use of an Amiga CD-ROM
drive to run IBM CD-ROM software, a feature that Commodore should have
included a long time ago is the ability to use any serial port or 
modems on the IBM side with Amiga software.  Internal modems and 
multi-serial port cards for IBM are less than 1/5 the cost of similar
cards for Amiga, and it would be nice to be able to use these
cards with Amiga software.

   In short, I call into serious question Commodore's commitment to the
Janus software.  There is so much potential with this software that
has to date been totally ignored by Commodore.
