Hello,

Does anyone know of a good fault tolerant computer (preferebly running
Unix) ??  What we need is a computer to be used for data collection
that can absolutely NOT lose any data and can not go down (actually,
being fault tolerant is not a necessity as long as it were extremely
reliable).  It must have optimized I/O capabilities, as it will be
used to constantly monitor data lines, reading data as soon as it is
detected without loss or delay.

We also need software for the machine which handles a number of
different protocols since the incoming data will be sent from various
sources, each with their own way of sending it (i.e.  3270, 3780,
X.25, TCP-IP, etc).

I'd appreciate any suggestions !!   Please reply via E-mail.   Thanx.
