I've received only two responses about ALR computers - neither were flattering to this company. I'd like to get more feedback on their products - especially if you're running unix or xenix on the 386 - 20, 25, or 33 FlexCache models. Also what multi- port cards are you running on them? They come with a Corollary card and concentrator in their standard Xenix configuration. Are there any other users out there with ALR experience? Thanks for your help and information in advance.

Thanks for your > help and information in advance. I cannot speak of the ALR flexcache line, but we have been running SCO XENIX 386, 8 meg memory, Computone Intelliport 8, and advantage cards, with no problems on a ALR 386/2 16 mhz and 20 Mhz. I have found that if it runs under Xenix on another box, it runs on these ALR boxes. This was not always the case. Prior to 2.3 we had several problems with Xenix and third party software, but the support from SCO and ALR was fairly decent. When 2.3 came out, most of the problems were resolved. ALR is a supported OEM in SCO's eyes. You will also note, that if you have access to the net maps and you browse through them, many ALR 386/2 's exist. I believe that the 386/2 model has been discontinued, but you can still get them. -- Adelphi University, Garden City, NY 11530 (516) 663-1170 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science markd@adelphi.UUCP or mark@promark.UUCP UUCP: ...philabs!sbcs!bnlux0!adelphi!markd
