The entire text is included below. Should anyone develop a driver for one of the multi-port RS232 cards like the Octacom card the posting of it would be sincerely apreciated. Larry Pajakowski ihnp4!tellab1!extel!larry --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I saw your net mail. In response to your specific questions: 1. IBM is now shipping XENIX, the part #'s are: Operating System #6024207 Software Development #6024209 Text Processing #6024208 The dealers have just received notice of this, so some may still be unaware of it - quoting the part numbers ensures that you can get them. 2. Yes, you can add drivers. Several people have already done it. You need the S/w development package. 3. The 3-user limit is an IBM hardware limit - other people have already announced multi-port serial cards which plug in to the AT and can be driven by XENIX. The limit is actually sixteen - which is the ATT license. Hope this helps. Feel free to post this to the net or to contact me for more information. Regards Adrian King XENIX Product Manager
