I have dealt with Lynx Real-Time Systems fairly extensively regarding Bluecat
Linux. The rep I have been in contact with is very knowledgable and helpful.
I just received a evaluation version of their development toolset and the OS.
Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but I will keep ya'll
posted as to what I think of it and my experiences with it, and with Lynx.
It's unfortunate that you had a bad experience with them, because I feel
that they have a very good product and it's only going to keep getting
better. They also have stopped shipping demo versions because they lowered
the price again, it's now only $299US.
Take care,
