I am also interested in the Netblazer.  I have seen several requests
for experiences with this product, but no replies of note.  One of the
things I am concerned about is the ability of the device to handle
multiple 38.4 sessions, SLIP, PPP and Telnet and also be able to
handle routing functions since it is using only a 386SX processor
(correct me if this has changed).  I believe that you can assign
a password for each user up to a maximum of X users.  Anyone know
what the value of X is?

Are there any plans to upgrade the product to support port rates
of greater than 38.4?

I would also be interested in any experience with using V.32bis
modems with this product since Telebit doesn't have one.  What
types of V.32bis modems have been used and how well do they work
with the Netblazer?

If anyone has any other recommendations for a terminal server with full
modem control on the ports that supports SLIP, PPP, FTP, Telnet, DNS, and
SNMP, I would be interested in the configurations and performance.

If anyone has received replies to previous requests for real life
experiences with the Netblazer, I think it would be valuable if they
could post a summary of the replies.  Thanks in advance,
