One U.S. distributor is Unipress Software (800)222-0550 or (201)985-8000. They are handling my customer support and updates locally for VisionWare. I am currently writing this on a IBM PS/2 running windows 3.0 and xvision (VisionWare's X windows server) I have 4 logical connections to my host computer (via ethernet but VisionWare supports multiple connections on serial ports as well...I just have not tried them). It's wonderful. -Roe Disclaimer: I have no official connection with Unipress Software or Visionware except that I am a satisfied customer.
