Thanks. Yes, I've used MLINK. But on a MVAX II running Ultrix, not a Xenix machine. It seemed to work okay, but its a little kludgey. It is programmable and has its own (not very elegant) language. But it does get the job done, more or less. That is, if you need a programmable non-trivial communications system. I certainly wouldn't get it for the terminal emulation and simple comm program features. We used it to poll (via crontab) a subscription data service for daily stock prices.
