I manage 7 gateways from one management station.
The NT based gateways are the hardest to work with.
The primary reason is the NT design which expects a
keyboard, monitor, and mouse attached to each station.
Everything is fine as long as everything is fine.
Anything unusual requires a phone conversation with someone
describing what is on the screen.
I prefer Sun boxes that are attached to a terminal server
or modem so I can access the console remotely. Nokia
boxes with the modem option are a good alternative.
You can see the console of these boxes even if they
are crashed.
