I am now the proud owner of the DOS-73 co-precessor board for the UNIX pc. Over all I am quite pleased, it runs GLIM (a generalized maximum likelihood regression package) very nicely without degrading my foreground UNIX tasks. I do have one *major* diffuculty/request. As configured, termcap entries are provided to permit remote use of the co-processor from AT&T 510 and 513 terminals; remarkably there are some of us in the world who happen to have neither at home. I've hacked on my Televidio 950 for years now. Can the DOS-73 be used remotely by other terminals? Version V.1.2 (UNIX pc release 2) used to allow Televidio 925's (hence 950's) to be a remote office machine, for some reason this was dropped in the otherwise infinitely better version 3 software. Life without the user agent is possible in UNIX, DOS-73 sends gibberish when invoked. "All help apprecieted, but you'll get no money here."
