Ah, but measure that against our list of features
(<http://www.etinc.com/ethssi.htm#features>www.etinc.com/ethssi.htm#features=
)
and see how they compare (plus they dont even use a real HDLC controller).
Things like hot-swap may make a difference given equal products, but they=
 are
far from equal. As you've learned with ethernet controllers, the hardware=20
helps, but the real issue is the software/drivers.=20
