Is there somebody out there that have any experience with any of these serial ports for the SunSparc1 or tried others? I would like to know the following: - Which SunOS version do you use it under - Any good & bad experience - How is the documentation - What software drivers is included (capability) - Does it give full modem-support (all control lines) - What is the performance (your personal experience is appreciated!) - Is it possible to run Sun 3270 communication with it - Any problems running uucp, etc. Vendor Name Product Description Price/Availability ----------- ------------------ ---------------- Agile Systems 2100SP, 2 serial, 1 parallel $395 July 90 Bob May (608)274-6880 4000SS, 4 serial ports $395 July 90 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antares Microsystems Parallel Port $295 May 90 Alex Chan 415-965-4326 8 channel serial controller $795 May 90 Cable management box option $150 May 90 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurora Technologies 210S 2 Serial, 1 parallel $595 now Dennis Daudelin (bidirectional) 617-577-1288 4 serial ports May 90 8 serial ports May 90 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baydel Ltd.
