- I recently compared about 6 of these devices and decided on the
- Microplex. It is a little cheaper than the Milan (which came in
- second), but is not as fast. The deciding factor was that the TCP/IP
- support on the Microplex was FAR SUPERIOR than the Milan. The Milan
- balances that with support for other LANs; Microplex only supports TCP/IP.
- We only needed TCP/IP. One other point, the Milan offers 1 parallel
- and 1 serial; the Microplex offer 1 parallel and 2 serial.
-
- Note the speed advantage of the Milan was approx. 7%.
