Does anyone have expierence with their Access One product? I would appreciate any responses both favorable and unfavorable. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Zelman Internet: rzelman%coh@usc.edu Technical Services Manager City of Hope Medical Center Duarte, CA -- We have several Ungermann-Bass Access/One network concentrators installed on our campus (California State University Long Beach). There are several network modules installed our the Access/One: * MaxTalk (16 port AppleTalk module - for Macintosh networks) * 10BaseT Ethernet module (ASM-310) * Twisted Pair Ethernet module (ASM-300, old version, not 10BaseT) We are very happy with UB hardware/software performance and support (except for the price :-)). In fact, I just ordered 4 11-slot Access/One concentrators, 15 MaxTalk modules, and 30 10BaseT modules. The only complain (beside the high price) is their NetDirector network management software. It runs on an OS/2 machine which requires 300MB hard disk and 12MB RAM!!! There's also a text based version available called Network Management Console.
