Ask Larry Snyder about his experiences with Digiboard & Computone w/
Telebits! They were not successful. Last I heard on the net, Larry was
using a Comtrol Hostess DUMB board, which worked fine.
What goes on now, Larry?
Also, I'm no expert on the anvil board, but doesn't it have a switch
for interrupts? If it uses interrupts, then that may be the reason
why it doesn't run into any problems with Telebits.
I like the Anvil stuff. Their software Crocodile and Monitor is
pretty neat. I haven't used it, but I've heard it is really good
for identifying system bottlenecks in Xenix.
