[comp.unix.xenix] SCO XENIX SYSTEM V limitation

saeed@sunseeker.uucp (03/10/90)

I have been running a stress test on an 8 port serial board under SCO XENIX
SYSTEM V 2.3.2 . In the stress test I am transmitting at 9600 bits per second.
Can the xenix handle 1000 interrupts per second under a 386 EVEREX PC and 
8 MHZ CPU clock?

Sounds like that's what you're supposed to be telling us, saeed;
you're the one running the test.

  I hate to ask this, but why are you running a multiuser system at
8MHz? I'm pretty sure that most people would not be trying this...
