Can ANYONE explain why VP/ix on the 386i (a.k.a. DOSWindows) is crippled
regarding remote DOS execution (none on serial terminals, stdin/stdout
only on network nodes), when SCO and others supply it with serial terminal
execution enabled AND screen mapping too ?  I've heard rumours, but let's
hear some facts.

A full screen-mapped ( MDA anyway) serial port and network DOS capability
would be highly desirable. Are you listening, SUN ?
