We'd like to use an intel x86 box. I know of a board from Cleo Communications which will give us bisync and will work with various DOS software communication packages. My question is this: does anyone know of any 386, UNIX-based or UNIX-like OS's which support bisync communication? Specifically maybe BSD/386 from BSD Inc. Also, how does Telebit's T2500 do SNA and bisync when there is only an RS232 port? Hmm? All info appreciated. Thanks -- Doug Eastick -- Sudbury, Ontario
