- We've got one with 128 ports on it. One problem we had was that when too
- many printer ports were used, the extra throughput saturated the limited
- backplane bandwith and caused the server to either seize up or sieze up and
- reboot. Another problem we saw was when certain VAX processors were rebooted,
- it would hang the terminal server. No explanation was given for this behavior
- from the manufacturer; they simply sent out a rom upgrade and it seemed to
- fix the problem. Note, that the problems were sporadic and not consistent.

- I'd call Datability and explain the problem. They'll probably send you new
- rom chips. Only hassle was we had to reset 128 port settings afterwards...
