MultiPort adapters

#1

I've got a customer running RedHat 9 and D3Linux 7.4.0. What's a good
multiport card for their new server? They've got five serial printers for
multi-part forms that can't be changed to anything else. The 32 port
digiboard in the existing server is down to it's last 5 working ports and
needs to be replaced. Thanks.

I would stick with the Digi. They speak Pick, so the drivers, installation,
and configuration is just better than the others. I have two sites running
on Systech. Not very pleasant. The rest are all using Digi.

The question is how much is the client willing to spend on the solution.
You can get an inexpensive mulit-port card with an octopus cable. Or, you
can get a network based solution like the Digi Port Server II. One is
around
$350, the other is around $1000. They both will probably require driver
installation and setup on RH9.. Moxa makes an 8-port PCI card "CP-118U"
that
sells for around $350. Digi has a "Neo" 8-port PCI card for around $300.

Hang the printers off winbox serial ports; use smbprint at the linux server to reach 'em

across the lan.

And why not buy a used digiboard to replace the croaked one? Odds are your
expansion boxes are ok, so it's a shame to toss em.

I vote for Digi too. We have a couple (ClassicBoard PCI) running on
RH9+D3 7.4 over 2 years without any problem.
