Vadic was also a US datacom company. Racal bought each one separately and added their name to the front of the previous company. They used to be run as entirely separate organizations, but there have been a lot of re-organization since I last paid any real attention, so I am not sure about today. Racal-Milgo sells primarily to the inducstrial market. They have a good sales and service setup, but it is not geared toward individuals. For this reason, and not because I think that there is anything bad about the company, I would recommend going to the OEM (Telebit). The only exemption to this would be if you were trying to get warranty service. I do not work for Racal-Milgo, although my company does produce some equipment for them under an OEM arrangement. -- Bud Couch - ADC/Kentrox | And diff'ring judments serve but to declare | If my employer only knew... |That truth lies somewhere, if we knew but where| standard BS applies | -William Cowper |
