My company does warehouse automation applications.  We need a
real-time, multitasking, networkable OS.  We hear conflicting opinions
on QNX and cannot get Quantum to return our phone calls asking for
product info, which seems a bad sign.  Regulus also seems a possibility;
its vendor claims SVID conformance with a real-time kernel for the
680X0 and 80386.

Anybody have experience with either or both of these?  Regulus seems
ideal, if it lives up to the ad.

Thanks in advance.
