Once upon a time Jon Lewis shaped the electrons to say...

Yes - and the CPU is not the bottle neck. Keep in mind that the design is
also several years old and the 386 was a shit-hot processor at the time.
Xylogics just went ot 486s in '95 on the Remote Annex line. They use 386s
in the Annex series, which is about the same era as the PM. And the PM
performs on the level of the Remote Annex. The PM-3 has a 486, I'd expect
new hardware designs we may produce to follow suit.

>dial into a PM than it is to get a PM to dial into another PM. I wonder

I don't understand the difficulty. Takes me less than 5 minutes to have
a link like that running most of the time. I'm using one now.
