Yes, we have someone who uses them. I think they're great if you want to keep green screen around. And if you have places that don't need PCs (and most places don't) then they are a lot less work to keep running than a PC. Set it up once and forget about it. > We have quite a few "ageing" Perle 494e's attached via TCP/IP and this > could be a replacement on down the road - and if the performance gains > are true - that would be great ! I couldn't comment on the speed. I guess the speed gains are compared to dedicated analog phone lines? If so then that all depends on the type of connection from the e-twinax controller to your host. A regular dail-up modem connection won't necessarily gain you much. But slap DSL on and yeah, a big speed gain. You should alsa note that they support encryption using a java server that then sends the unencrypted data on to the AS/400. The easiest way to set this up (IMO) is to stick a linux box right next to your AS/400 and run the java server on it. I helped them fix their documentation on how to do this (at least I hope they got it fixed). Let me know if you have more questions. James Rich james@eaerich.com
