+1 for opengear as well. We have over 100 deployed and have been a solid product as well as a good company to work with. We also setup a private network with Verizon so that our console servers would not be on the Internet.

NANOG - Are any of you running a console server to access your network equipment via a serial connection at a remote site? If so, what are you using and how much do you like it? I have a project where I need to stand up over 100 remote sites and would like a backdoor to the console just to be able to see what's going on with the equipment to hopefully avoid a truck roll for something simple like a hung device. I need 4 console ports and 1 RJ45 ethernet jack. My quick Google search landed me at BlackBox LES1204A-3G-R2, but I've never actually used such a device. This would be for use in the USA.
OpenGear all the way. Models for every need. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
