xenix-386 and X.25 communications

[RICHARD RONTELTAP]

Reluctantly...
 
An English firm named Symicron sells a X.25 card + driver software +
multi-session terminal program for XENIX/386. I must warn anyone that
they usually sell DOS products. The XENIX software we got has numerous
problems.
 
Well you know how it goes:
Client "I'm writing some software for your product, and I have
problems 1 2 3 ... 8"
 
Company (after a couple of weeks) "Yes, yes, your problems seem to be
bugs in the driver, maybe we'll do something about it in the next
release scheduled for next month"
 
Next month passes and ... (oh well, the usual story)
 
One possible plus is that I got the impression that they are willing
to supply the source (if you apply due pressure). So if you've got the
time to do some debugging yourself, it might be worth it.
 
The company is trying to make a serious product of the XENIX package,
it just isn't there yet.
 
Their numbers are:
phone: +44-1-857-5577
fax  : +44-1-857-1945
