	I'm not sure I understand the difference (i.e. I'm sure I don't
understand the difference).  What is "TCP/IP emulation software", as
opposed to any other implementation of TCP/IP?  Every implementation of
TCP/IP that I know of (or could concieve of) is done is software.
Sometimes the software is in ram and sometimes it's in rom, but it's still
software.

We are currently investigating various sorts of TCP/IP terminal servers, and
I am looking for people's experience/advice about the best available brands.

We are in the market for 8-16 port servers initially, with expansion likely
in the future, so expandable servers are an advantage.

I currently have some information on the Emulex P4000 (16 and 32 port), and
the Spiderport 6/10/16 port.

Does anyone have any recommendations/suggestions?

Please mail to me, and I will summarise to the net.
