One U.S. distributor is Unipress Software (800)222-0550 or
(201)985-8000.  They are handling my customer support and updates
locally for VisionWare.

I am currently writing this on a IBM PS/2 running windows 3.0 and
xvision  (VisionWare's X windows server)  I have 4 logical connections
to my host computer (via ethernet but VisionWare supports multiple
connections on serial ports as well...I just have not tried them).

It's wonderful.

Disclaimer:  I have no official connection with Unipress Software or
Visionware except that I am a satisfied customer.
