Re: Twinax Idea -- MIDRANGE-L

Nope. Nlynx formed as a kinda management buyout of the NetWork Products Division of Andrew Corp when Andrew bailed from the midrange business. Nlynx then bought Idea out of bankruptcy (really a customer list) and then later bought Decision Data (they were on the ropes too -- customer list?). Since DD had brand awareness and Nlynx didn't they rebranded their stuff with the DD label. Now Nlynx is in bankruptcy (chap 11) due to their own problems.

Idea was bought by Nylnx, and I believe Decision Data are the new owners

Idea & she asked how to increase the alarm volume ... we finally figured out
that SETUP then F15 did the trick but initially confused because no visual
confimation of SETUP functions working.
Initially I said the new user needed to know where the twinax manual was, but
failing that the last person to use it had some memories. Now my question
here ... does anyone remember who bought out Idea, because they listed in
midrange publications of 5-10 years ago but not in contemporary ones. I
figure there might be a web site some place under the new name that might
have some semblance of a manual on-lin.
