I am not very happy with it but it is all that is available, I think. Please let me know if something else is available. Some of the problems with the Process software are listed here: 1) Does not support accounting, user privilages, etc. 2) Only uses the 8 logical subdisks which are mounted when the system is booted. The sub-disks can not be changed without rebooting the system. 3) Does not support TELENET. 4) Only one FTP can be performed at at a time. i.e., it is actually a single user package. 5) The 3.5Kbyte device handler cannot be mapped. 6) No documentation on how to use the handler independently. I have been trying for more than a year to get Process software to correct some of these problems, but they are not interested. A second choice is Omnex corporation. They sell a mappable TSX+ ethernet handler with documentation. However, they do not provide any TCP/IP software to drive it. I cannot provide the addresses at this time, but both companies advertise in the trade rags. If you send me a message I can find the addresses for me. Again, please let me know what you find out.
