Hi,


I am looking for any and all information, experiences, etc that anyone 
may have regarding Shiva Corp.'s NetModems and NetSerial devices?

1.  Do they work (well, at all, etc)?

2.  What software comes with them and does it work under 6.0; does it look like
    it will break under future Apple System Software releases

2.1 What functionality does the software provide?  What programs cannot use
    either the netmodems or netserial devices (and why not, if possible..)

3.  Do they work in multi-zoned environments?

4.  Does they work with PhoneNET networks? Including over PhoneNET  star nets,
    PhoneNET repeaters, and any other Farallon devices...  (real important!)

5.  In the case of the net serial product, what kinds of devices CANNOT be
    connect to one?

6.  Anything I left out...?


Please mail responses,...I will summarise.

Thanks Much,
  David
