Carl I don't know what we call our product.  We do what MCI-mail and CIS-email
do.  I guess you could call it a private e-mail system.  They used to be called
store-and-forward message switchers, but not many people know what that is.

We need machines with from 4 to 12 serial ports.  I need to be able to modify
the driver code.  I add communication protocol code to the driver for increased
speed and efficiency.

I am not familiar with MIPS numbers.  What's the MIPS of my uq20 at 12 (or 16)
MHz?  Are the 16 byte FIFO serial ports the 68681 DUART, or do these boards
have 4 ports total?

I don't know anything about PC's.  What kind of serial port boards are
available for the AT bus?  Are they DMA type devices?  Are there any that use
Motorola chips.  All I know about Intel chips is that they always install them
upside down, so the low order byte comes before the high order byte.

Is a TBA anything I ought to know about?  I guess it's where you connect the
monitor.
