I am still looking for good multi-ports board for modem type terminal
(both dial-out and dial-in) only.   I have bad experience with Arnet
SmartPorts and I have contact other Arnet owners to have same problem.
I am running SCO Unix 3.2, Telebit T2500 and Hayes 2400.

I believe that Smart board works best for serial cable connecting to
terminal and modem type terminal works best with Dumb type serial board.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I still don't know which board I should look for.   DIGIboard looks good
but it is not in Seattle area.

Thank you for your time.
