Early ones (<1990) were pretty orrible.
These two have been working okay off multiple linux and a novell box for
about five & two years respectively. Of course, it was RH systems which
did require a special driver. Which is why I asked.

I respectably suggest that your sys admin was totally bloody hopeless.
Nicest print servers I've ever used (but I stopped at the 560). Might
have changed in the last few years.

What did Axis say? Intelligent Technoglies used to handle them here and
you could get fast response and bios upgrade same day. Fixed any
problems I found in production servers. However, I suspect InTech got
out of them as they started selling their own lines cheaper.
Now, Intel print servers I requarded as bloody hopeless. Heard my quacks
receptionist swearing at theirs the other day {:-).
