I need opinions on the following product. Below, I will list its features. Please be as critical as possible! Many thanks in advance... Kenny sun!maui!kennyl PS If I have posted this to the wrong newsgroup I apologize in advance. :) ******************************************************************** Here is Product A: 16 or 32 RS232-C serial ports, 1 parallel port, 1 Ethernet connector to transceiver. o UNIX Interface: Powerful UNIX-style interface with built-in "help" facility and job control. o "rlogin", "telenet": Full 4.3 bsd TCP/IP networking code including "telnt" daemon and name server support. o IP Routing: Supports subnets, gateways, Internet and ARPAnet access. o Central Administration: System administration of all hardware from one central computer allows software updates quickly and efficiently. o Modems: Autobaud, dial in/out, rotaries, flow-control. o Printers: Parallel or serial support with "print" daemon and spooler. o High-availability: Autoreboot from redundant boot servers. o Security: Individual, port, and custom password security and port tapping. o Debugging: Including self-diagnosis,"tap", "ping" and others. o Easy Cabling: DB9, DB25, modular telco or direct connect. o High-speed: 300 to 38,400 Baud...can repaint 24X80 terminal in 0.5 seconds. o Comprehensive SL/IP implementation provides alternative methods for boot loading and internet access. Any number of hardware ports cab be configured as SL/IP interfaces. o Multiple Sessions: 8 sessions per port lets each user access multiple hosts simultaneously.
