Jeff,
You might consider looking at OSICOM's IQX-200. This communications server
uses a 200Mhz Intel Pentium processor (compared to Livingston PM3's 486dx2/66),
comes with a 10/100 ethernet port, is expandable up to 168 modems via T1/PRI.
Also supports a second 10/100 port for LAN to LAN routing. Dont' put the
modems on a T1 card and the box becomes a T1 Router with Internal CSU/DSU (as
many as you want). RAM upgrades are easy, standard 72Pin non-parity, non-edo
SIMMs. Also supports quad BRI cards for ISDN remote routers, ISDN modem
connections, or add 8 modem card and support digital 56KFlex dialin users!!!!
Through the end of March OSICOM is running a special promo on their
product......
24 Modems (56KFLEX) w/1T is just:$7080.00, 48 modems, 2/T is $11,760.00, and 72
modems 3T is just $15,480.
We sell these things like hot-cakes!!! Give me a call: Jonathan Manz v:
(303)448-4831.
Happy Hunting.
Jonathan
