- : Hello There
-
- : We are now evaluating the US Robotics Total Control NetServer Solution
- : from US robotics.
-
- Our conclusion, based on our experience, is : good product, lousy manuals, and
- zero service. If it works, everything is fine. But if you run into problems,
- like us, you have to pay for a support contract, or you get zero service.
-
- I don't understand, while we pay a big money for a Netserver card, and we
- still have to pay more for the firmware upgrade. I know Livingston won't
- charge their users for the firmware upgrade; ironically when Netserver is
- an old version of Portmaster from Livingston.
-
- We may abandon our future purchase of more Total Control series and turn
- to other alternatives. We won't stand still for this ripoff.
