In response to a few requests I've received for more QNX info, I've thrown
together a more detailed blurb. I'm not going to post it; it anyone wants it,
you can mail me at `dan@db.wisc.edu'.

I have a deal of experience with QNX. WHat is it that you'd like to
know?
And, as far as the use for small business, you might like to know that
very large real-time systems have been implemented with QNX. For example, QNX
will support a number of terminals off of an AT type machine, while using
Arcnet to network a number of PC's together.
A QNX network can also share any device between any two systems on a
network, i.e., hard drives, modems, etc. Therefore, when a system becomes
bogged down, you only need add another PC to the network to enhance
productivity, the applications running on the network do NOT need to be
changed.
An example of usage:
Speech Plus, uses QNX to do speech synthesization, in
systems requiring a great deal of host connectivity, they convert textual
information into speech, allowing such people as Doctors to verify information
contained in host databases.
Northern Telecom, 300 node QNX network. IBM uses QNX to do robotics
control, building PCs......
Etc.etc. E-mail any questions you might have...... jon j
