Cisco 2600 with an 8-port sync/async serial card would make a nice replacement and they're pretty easy on the wallet these days. You might spend as much cabling it as you did for the unit when it's all said and done? C2500s lingered on in this role for some time as well, though they're quite a bit slower than the 2600. Or an old Portmaster, those things are dirt cheap now. It's always annoying when you get in a situation like this; I had a very contemporary ATEN IPKVM at work that would get stuck in a reboot loop the minute I plugged it into a specific VLAN full of traffic. Never could get them to fix it... Best, Sean On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 7:24 PM, Bill Sudbrink <wh.sudbrink at verizon.net> wrote:
