The boards we require to handle at least 8, 16 or 32 ports and have working and supported (not necessarily by the manufacturer) serial drivers for these operating systems. Support and supply within Australia would be ideal, but not essential (we will certainly consider an agency or dealership arrangement if the cards are well recommended and work well on these platforms). There are quite a few installations involved. Information on terminal server devices would also be appreciated, but since there may be a significant concern for cost, they may not be entirely suited to the situation. Please email responses. I will post a concise summary if anyone expresses a similar interest in the information. -- David Nugent, davidn@blaze.net.au Unique Computing Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia.
