Seems to work fine. We have two, actually, since our department here has two zones for local networking; each zone has a GBox which connects to the campus backbone. Two products are now in use in the department; tn3270, which emulates eponymously, and MacIP, which is what I'm now using, and allows (umm...peeking up at the menu bar...) telnet, finger, ftp, and whois, whatever that is, sessions. All works dandy. No complaints, the equipment has performed up to spec, and when we bought them there was a price break of "buy four, get one free!!!" or some such, reducing the price from about two grand each to, uh, 1600. Good deal. I understand Cayman provides excellent tech support, but really can't comment on that as I'm just a happy and satisfied user, Josh Hayes, Zoology Dept, Miami University, Oxford OH 45056 jahayes@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu or jahayes@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu (preferred) Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
