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.
