I use some gear from Baytech (<a href="http://Baytech.net">Baytech.net</a>) the DS series IIRC. They're in various models, the ones we use are 1U high and provide 4 serial ports, 4 remotely controllable power ports, telnet access to the console, and we hang a modem off it so we can dial in when the whole site has failed.
<br><br>The price is reasonable, I think we bought 11 for just under $1,000 each. The company supports the devices well, too.<br><br>I was looking at some higher density serial stuff so I went back to the same reseller who directed me to a different company, it might have been Avocent (didn't they buy cyclades?) I really wasn't impressed by the sales guy I had so I didn't go any further.

Hi All:<br><br>Wondering what solutions people are using to connect via serial to<br>multiple cisco routers, switches, and computers equipped with real<br>serial consoles. I tried to buy some of the cyclades units, but our
<br>local supplier has totally failed to deliver.<br><br>Theodore<br>_______________________________________________<br>Roundtable mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Roundtable@muug.mb.ca">Roundtable@muug.mb.ca</a><br><a href="http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable">
