- I have racks of them, and they work great. You should probably be aware of
- the following though:
-
- - They tend to generate a lot of heat; this is only a problem if you're
- going to be getting racks of them and putting them all in an enclosed
- space. Even then, they don't seem to mind at all.
-
- - We have experienced re-training problems, mostly between two MultiTechs;
- if they don't degotiate 28.800 for some reason they don't connect at all.
- However, there _are_ ways to get around this: there's an INIT string
- setting that helps (can't remember what it is).
-
- Despite this, they're still by FAR the best buy for a 28,800. They shure
- beat the hell out of USRs.
