[TUHS] Fwd: Choice of Unix for 11/03 and 11/23+ Systems

[Paul Riley]

Heinz,

Using LSX on the 11/03, what did you use for interaction with the outside
world? The SLU of the time had only one port I believe, and that would be
tied up with the console terminal. Will LSX handle cards with multiple
serial ports? Was there a favoured digital or analog I/O board with some
form of kernel support?
