RE: What's a good cheap setup replacement for 5394

Pat.

We just did this with a new site about 2 months ago. It was going to take
SBC a long time to get them added to our frame relay network (something like
45 days) so we ordered business class DSL also from SBC and that was in in 3
days...

We are rolling out the BOS units to replace Pearl 494 control units and I
LOVE these things. They have a GUI interface and NO diskette drive.

So be safe over the internet you need to also get 4602 feature SECURIT-e +
RAS 2 Port for BOS Controller.

Call Chip Crane at ServIT (800) 800-1780 x 2149 he has GREAT pricing and is
a huge reseller for them.

Oh, and we killed the frame order for this site !

Currently has 5394 using a 7852 dial modem
with 2 3488's with 2 sessions each
and one 2481 printer.

I'm assuming tcp/ip connections at this point.

They would like to use web connections to reduce
line charges. I guess DSL at this point.

Limited number of users (4-6)

Several locations with similar arrangements.

I would like to avoid pc's if at all possible and use a
"thin" client like  http://www.system3x.com/as400_Products/217105.asp
or somthing similar.
