APC makes 0U units for different types of electric hand offs. AP7932 is a unit we've used with great success in the past. APC's SNMP access is great as well since it can be integrated with just about any kind of system. --Matt On Sep 25, 2008, at 12:37 PM, Justin M. Streiner wrote:

I am a huge fan of the Avocent/Cyclades gear for its integration with the serial console servers. They do grouping, and alerts over SNMP/SMS/email. But the big seller for me is the integration. On Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 10:40 AM, Duane Waddle [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: On Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 11:56
