Lee.  Seems that both you and I have had our troubles with AT&T.

However, with release of ver 3.0 of their IPC software, I find AT&T's boards
to be quite useful for most any "PC" serial port application that you need.
Either from UNIX (tm) or via a network application (shared modem or printer).

I wouldn't go dogging them without specific examples.

To date we run HP Laserjets (500,II, & III), share spoolers, serial to
parallel converters, modems, and Okidata printers off our IPC 802 boards
with  *absolutely* no troubles.

Although abit awkward in size, the 802 board performs quite well and I am
very pleased with them.  I have not had any experience with the (smaller
EPORTS-like) 900 series of the IPC boards, but rumor has been that they
perform equally well.
