Can anyone out there especially someone from HP explain why for the new 825 you can only use the 6-Chan Mux card for communications to ttys and not the 8-Chan Mux. It seem if you have to put alot of users on a system (and thats why we are getting an 825, for alot of users) that you want cheap and as many ttys on a single line as possible. Also the 6-Chan Mux from what I have read can't keep up because of its buffer to a full 6 channels going at 9600 baud. So its going to ruin the preformance of this machine and the users will again be unhappy with HP's product. So could someone out there set me straight... Thanks for help.
