Compiler Question:

Machine: Kaypro 286i (PC clone) running MS/DOS.

Compilers: MT+ from Digital Research
	   MS/Pascal from Microsoft.

Application:	Writing software to implement communications protocols 
		(over telephone lines, I think) which must run at the
		same time as a number of other processes.
		The machines are planned to do remote servicing on 
		medical scanners and suchlike.

I'd like to know about any experiences/problems people have had
with these compilers, especially MT+.
How good is the code produced, are there debugging tools available?
In addition, comments on the choice of Pascal (over C) to implement these
protocols are welcome.
