The devices seem to die after a day or two (even with the new firmware) and then need to be rebooted. On occasion, the device needs to be literally unplugged and plugged back in as even the reset doesn't work. There are some nice features, but we have all but given up on them for a production environment. Relative to the Cisco ATAs and other devices we are using, the price/performance ratio is not there, particularly from a support cost perspective. If they get the thing to be more stable then we will reconsider them. On Wednesday, October 15, 2003, at 07:00 AM, rnc Info Lists wrote: > Do you have a 100 or 101?
