	Yes, I've used MLINK. But on a MVAX II running Ultrix, not a
Xenix machine.
	It seemed to work okay, but its a little kludgey. It is programmable
and has its own (not very elegant) language. But it does get the job done,
more or less. That is, if you need a programmable non-trivial communications 
system. I certainly wouldn't get it for the terminal emulation and simple
comm program features. We used it to poll (via crontab) a subscription data
service for daily stock prices.
