About this time last year I was using the Lantronix and Hughes/CMC terminal Server. The Lantronix was advertised as able to do many different type of connectivity, but I didn't like the support and the performance and quality were not as good as the Hughes. I had good field support and ROM upgrades. The software which came with the Lantronix was buggy. Then again it was trying to run on an AT&T 3B2 600G (oh my!).

How much does the Hughes go for? BTW, the Lantronix has improved quite a bit since last year (I looked at them too then also). The only problem I have seen so far is that they have a 2 byte (yes, 2 byte) serial line buffer which can easily be overrun if you have dumb (aka, no flow control) serial devices.
