Sorry to surprise you but Interactive ships support for the Bell Tech HUB and ICC multiport I/O boards WITH THEIR BASIC SYSTEM. I am currently running several of the intelligent ICC boards and am very happy with the responce time, though I am having trouble with the installation of one on a Mylex board.

(It sounds like alot of ports but their 12 port board hasn't hit the streets quite yet.) This board is GREAT! I've been able to accomplish things that I've always wanted to with smart boards. I've got the following devices hung off it. 1- Old Epson mx80 with a serial to parallel adapter. 1200 baud. 1- Brother daisy wheel printer at 9600 baud 1- Wyse 60 terminal operating at 38400 baud. 1- Telebit Trailblazer doing bi-directional news at 19200 baud. 1- Microsoft serial mouse for X window use. 1- x10 house control computer interface box. I used to have the Telebit and the mouse on the standard COM ports along with the mx80 printer. By using the Equinox board I was able to get all my devices on one board and eliminate the COM board and free up a slot. If you have any specific questions please respond to the net as I've having sendmail configuration nightmares. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | - Stan Voket, asv@gaboon - OR - ...uunet!hsi!stpstn!gaboon!asv | | Land Line: (203) 746-4489 TELEX 4996516 - | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
