access@iuvax.UUCP (02/19/86)

I am using a Zenith AT clone awith Xenix and am interested in attaching
several more serial ports.  Has anyone had experience with the Quadram
5 serial port board or the AST FourPort/XN?  They both look interesting.
Other than that, has anyone hdoes anyone know of thea n 8 prot ort board or the like that
isn't too incredibly high pricesd?

The Sperry IT has a four port serial board which is supported by XENIX and
costs $200-300 depending on discount. I am not sure just what you want to
spend.
