Please can anyone out there help me: I need some advice on X.25 cards to run
in a Xenix/386 machine. We have heard of and seen the specs for two cards thus
far, and I would like to know if anyone out there has any experience with
them, or better still, if anyone has benchmarked the cards.
The two cards in question are the Eicon X25 card and the NetCom II X25 card.
In our application, the card will have one 64KBps line coming into it, but
this line will be split into 31 Virtual Circuits. I would like to know if
these cards will be able to cope with 30 simultaneous downloads using a full-
streaming protocol like Zmodem.
Also, if anyone knows of other cards which I can install in the machine and,
to Xenix, appear as normal tty's, please let me know. It would be really nice
if the card can also run on a DOS platform, as a backup site running DOS will
need to be able to support the same card. It is not essential, but it is
certainly preferable if the card CAN do DOS.
Thanks in anticipation,
