They are a little more expensive though. We use Pipeline-50's, pipeline-25's at work (also Cisco 2500 and Ascend Max 4000, but those are too big for your app.) If you talk to something through your serial port, you will likely get less throughput (due to start/stop bits.) The router solution will give you everything that you can get through two B channels on a BRI. John
