I don't use the system, but I understand QNX may have much of what you
are looking for.  It is a very proprietary system, and I gave up trying
to find out how compatible it is with standard UNIX(tm).  

One problem with QNX is that it runs on the Intel platforms only... i.e. XT,
AT, and 80386 boxes.  However, since it implements full distributed processing
and real time operation, you can get a lot of work done on the better PCs.

You can get information from Quantum in Ottawa, Canada.
