Phone number is 415-326-1941. IP gateway is 1-4 way, currently supports IP/TCP and V.35. Coming soon is T1 and DECNET-IP. Price is $7950 for 2-way IP. Add or subtract $1K for less/more ethernets. Each 2-line v.35 (for muxing high-speed (usually 56Kb) phone lines onto ethernet) interface is $2K. Advantages: has run onder 24 different implementations of IP/TCP and has all boot loaders, servers, and net mgmt. stuff in ROM in the box, so you don't need any other box to do diagnostics or traffic management. Also, the command lang. interface is very good, and nearly everything is user-settable in the config. files. Two levels of password protection on idividual lines to net segments. Fast: 1200 pps burst. For more information, contact cisco or BOSACK@SU-SCORE.ARPA I don't work for cisco, but my boss does.
