We have several Vistas in service from two different suppliers. The Vistas
from one supplier are running version 2.223, while the others are running
2.203. We have had word from ADE Network Technology (one supplier) that
2.243 is currently available and that a future upgrade (possibly 2.273) will
give Vistas running dual protocol (LAT & TCP) the full HELP facility.

Over the last 12 months we have had a couple of upgrades which have fixed
known bugs (it's painful being on the knife-edge of technology). From time
to time we still experience problems (mostly with TCP) some of which are yet
to be fixed. Nevertheless, the Vista is a neat box and cheap for what it
does.
