Sorry guys, I couldn't resist.  I think we had this "flame" not very
long ago.  Well I will interject one more time....
Apparently a few people have had problems with Computone boards,
but we have replaced StarGate boards with Computone, have tried
Digiboard, and various other board, and have had EXCELLENT results
with the Computone, (reliability, functionality, and performance).
We have about 20 in the field, so this is not a light comment.
I know some people may disagree, (and I'm sure I'll get flamed AGAIN),
but I had to stick my comments here.
