"...a mess..." ? http://support.bbc.co.uk/support/standards/rack_top.jpg We do indeed use the Lantronix, have done since '97 or before. Not really had any reliability problems with them. The odd fan bearing has gone, but they keep running none-the-less. The CLI is very VMSish, but not bad when you get used to it, plenty of online help. Only minor niggle is that they changed the authentication procedure in a recent code version, without flagging it in big letters. > Cisco - > > 2 suggestions to use a 2511 or a 3620 with 16 port async cards.

Not noticed any performance problems for occasional use. Biggy niggle is that you can't easily setup ssh to a port with per-port passwords. Had to fudge it thus: username port1 noescape password 7 ************** username port1 autocommand telnet 123.45.67.89 2033 interface Loopback0 ip address 123.45.67.89 255.255.255.255 access-list 1 permit 123.45.67.89 line 33 48 access-class 1 in no exec transport input telnet Simon -- Simon Lockhart | Tel: +44 (0)1737 839676 Internet Engineering Manager | Fax: +44 (0)1737 839516 BBC Internet Services | Email: [email protected] Kingswood Warren,Tadworth,Surrey,UK | URL: http://support.bbc.co.uk/
