Oregon Health Science University is currently running a 2.3 revision
(merge kernel) with two digiboard 8-port intelligent serial cards on
a Compaq 386 running at 16 Mhz with none of the problems previously
described in this newsgroup. This machine has been in operation for a
couple months with 16 terminals, all running at 9600 baud. Microport,
along with Digiboard, at least in this application, have gotten their
serial acts together. We will be installing V/386 and V/386 digiboard
drivers on the Compaq as soon as we can get our hands on a working
DataFlex compiler.
