the kernel oriented device-drivers for ports A and B, the cul0 and 1, the cua0 and 1, even on the latest version of Xenix 3.0 for the 6000 or the upgraded 16b, still expect you to be using Tandy/Radio Shack Modems, and if you are not, they intend for it to be awkward as possible to get around. To me this is anti-marketing strategy in a way. Tandy has more machines with Xenix in the marketplace, than all of the the licensed UNIX sites in the world put together. This is still on the increase. Now with stiff compettition, do they try and make their products as equally easy to use with 3 party hardware as their competitors, NO ! They have kept it almost imposible for the beginning system users, and awkward for the rest of us. My question, is why ?
