Re: Debian + PC with multi RS... port -> n x (text dumb t
Why did you move to networked 386's? What's running on them?
The system that we use is provided to us by True Value. The backroom
system is a SCO 3.2V4.2 box. There where a couple of reasons for
getting rid of the WYSE terminals. There were emulation problems
with the terminals, SCO uses an odd ball emulation. The system
now uses the backroom for transaction processing, credit card
approval, house charge accounts, etc. While the 386's actually
run the data entry software. One of the big advantages to this
is if the backroom system should go down for any reasons, each
register contains its own mini database, enough to still ring
transactions.
This seems to be getting a little Debian un-specific, so if no
one else is interested in this why don't we use e-mail, instead
of cluttering the list?
