I want to get a 386 AT class box and run Xenix on it.  It needs to 
be a multi-user system (5 to 8 users) and it needs to have excellent
response time.

I know that I need a multi-port card and I think that it will need to
be intellegent (i.e. buffer characters and interrupt the CPU less often
that once per character).

Are there any boards out there that will work for me in this way?

I've heard about the AST 4-port card but it is not intellegent at all.
Wont that create a I/O bottle-neck in my system.

What intellegent multi-port I/O cards are out  there for this type of
configuration???

Thanks.
