- We are developing an application that uses a DOS based 386sx for
- real time online data accessing. The query information is taken
- over the phone and keyed in.
- The response from the mainframe is over a RS485 link.
- The communications protocol being used is HDLC.
- We are a bit worried by the slowness of the transaction rate and
- were wondering whether DOS is suited for this type of environment.
- If anybody has been in a similar situation or can give any handy
- hints I would like to hear from them.
