Hi, It's been a while since I last saw this thread... I'm looking at a few listed below and looking for comments: Lantronix - http://www.lantronix.com/products/cs/scs820_scs1620/index.html Looks good, can't find a price on Ingram. Cyclades - http://www.cyclades.com/products/ts_series.php Looks to run about $2100 for 16 ports Digi - http://www.digi.com/solutions/devtermsrv/cm/index.shtml Looks to run about $1800 for 16 ports All of the above do sshv2, and that's a requirement. I haven't found much else. For the time being I'm ruling out old stuff like a Portmaster or Xylogics. I'd also appreciate pointers to any "roll your own" parts, esp. IDE -> Flash adapters and multiport serial cards that will work with FreeBSD. I can summarize to keep the noise down... Thanks, Charles -- Charles Sprickman spork@inch.com
