I have a 286 based Tandon computer which I need to expand to include an additional port. I currently have 2 serial connections to the system, so there are 3 workstations. The system is running SCO Xenix and has our database on it in Informix SQL. Can I add a garden variety serial card, config it to COM3, and expect it to work? Another problem we have been noticing is that the system occasionally takes a long time to complete a command. A friend of mine suggests that this may be the result of disk fragmentation. Is there any S/W I can get that will alleviate the fragmentation problem? Any help on these issues will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. C.
