Ok - that tears it.  Emulex won't help me, Wang doesn't know how to spell
Xenix, and I've got a BIG project due - who dya call?  the NET ANIMALS...

Configuration:  Wang PC/381 - Phoenix bios, 4 meg RAM, 2 42mg drvs
			Emulex DCP/MUXi (8 ports, 128k ram)

Software - Multiview, FoxBase, VP/ix.

The Problem - I have a large application written in Foxbase I want the
whole system to have access to.  Great, things work wonderfully fromt he
console and anyone on tty1a or tty2a - BUT - on any of the DCP mux ports,
there is a 1-1.5 second delay anytime you switch fields.  You can imagine
what a pain it is filling in any reasonably sized form.  All MENU TO
functions work great, and the system seems to hum along fine (except for
BROWSE - dont talk to me about BROWSE)

Is anyone else using this mux board?  Is anyone using it with a Wang
PC/381?  Has anyone had this problem in foxbase?

Thanx etc etc etc

PS - Does anyone know if FoxPro is going to be available for Xenix?
