In discussing the topic of Ethernet Terminal Servers, many people have
reported on their experiences with Encore, Bridge, and Cisco. Is anybody
out there using the CMC Transerver? What do you think of it? How good
are its implementations of TCP/IP, telnet, rlogin? Can it drive all
10 lines at 9600 baud? 19.2 baud? What RS232 signals does it implement
besides TxD, RxD, and Sig Gnd? Can individual lines be configured to pass
8-bit binary to a device (i.e. not put a special interpretation on any
particular character, not discard NULL bytes)?

Is anybody >out there using the CMC Transerver? What do you think of it? How good I refuse to give money to a company that makes me type in my host names and addresses. Are we talking toy networking or what? I have 298 hosts, and more every day (it seems). (My apologies if this has been corrected. This is the way CMC was when I saw their product at a trade show.) -- I speak for myself, not the company. Phil Ngai, {ucbvax,decwrl,allegra}!amdcad!phil or amdcad!phil@decwrl.dec.com
