For the money, the Arca Emutel Solo kicks butt. I had an Arca and I currently have a Atlas and for the money the Arca wins hands down.
A couple of features that make the Arca significantly better than then cheapisdn unit and most others on the market is the ports are S/T or U and can be configured as such from a user menu. This is a BIG BONUS. No NT1's necessary. It also has an internal NiCad battery to run for a couple of hours when not attached to a power source. I don't know how useful this feature is in a lab, but great for trade shows. With the correct download code this switch can emulate all the switch types outside North America. You buy the unit as either North American or European, what Arca doesn't really let you know is the only difference is a firmware download to change country emulations. I have both sets of code! Good support even though it is in Ireland. The support was very helpful whenever I had questions or issues. The downside is it only has two ports. I would still be using it today if it weren't for this. Buy and Arca if you want a great simulator for the price. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Barkl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ISDN Simulator offer [7:47295] I've been happy with my $1095 unit from www.CheapISDN.com -----Original Message----- From: Gillian Wylie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 9:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ISDN Simulator offer [7:47295] arca technologies are offering special discount pricing on their ISDN simulators for Cisco Students and Trainers.
