They (Communications Research Corp.) make the claim that BLAST will run on
_any_ system, (If it doesn't yet, they will make BLAST do so for some $$$).
At the time I had dealings with them, BLAST was the only communications
package that was certified 100% error free by the Bureau os Standards.

I used the product to transfer files between an Intel 310 (Xenix 3.2) and
an Amdhal (TSO?).  Other boxes include Mac and CP/M.  

My relationship with Communications Research Corp. involved several Beta's
and provided developement resources for the Intel 310.
