Is the difference between the smart boards and "dumb" boards really that
noticable under SCO Xenix?  I would like to support 4 high speed modems and
4 terminals - with the modems locked at 19.2 kbaud - and there is a good
chance I will be changing from SCO Xenix to Interactive Unix and want to make 
sure that the board I select is supported there as well.
