I am looking for a board that will enable us to hook 8 MODEMS to an IBM-AT.
I know that we will have to write our own communications software. I would
like to get a board that has drivers for SCO XENIX available, as well as being
able to be run from DOS. A smart board (i/o processor on board, etc.) would
be nice, but a dumb one will be OK for our DOS application. I would prefer to
use the same board for both though.
Thanks for any suggestions!

SCO supports two 8-port boards - Arnet Controls 4 and 8 port (8250b version) and Control Systems Hostess 4 and 8 port versions. the Computone ATvantage-X smart serial expansion also has a driver for SCO Xenix. Presumably you have to relink the Kernal (which requires owning the software development package) in order to install the Computone driver. _MelloN_ -- Ted Lemon Project GNU of the Free Software Foundation UUCP: {}!mit-eddie!mit-prep!mellon INTERNET: mellon@prep.ai.mit.edu ORGANIZATION: Project GNU, Free Software Foundation, 1000 Mass.
