hi!
To answer your question about a terminal server. I'm a big fan of UNIX
but I think the optimal solution for your setup is to run TCP/IP on QNX.
QNX is a fast real-time multitasking multiuser networking OS that can
support a heavy communications load in a small pc that can be a diskless
workstation. Eight users on a 10MHZ 286 AT running QNX would be no sweat.
Their address is:
Quantum Software Systems, LTD
175 Terrence Matthews Crescent
Kanata, Ont., Canada, K2M 1W8
(613) 591-0931
PS: QNX's throughput could be a deciding factor. A 286 AT tasks switches
a full magnitude of order faster than XENIX/386 (pick your clock speed).
I still love unix and do not wish to start a flame war. UNIX is good.
QNX is good. Direct nasty responses to NULL:
