You may also like to consider the 5500CN Network Interface (expensive) or
5500PC PC Interface and MSS100 together with C-Gate which is currently
downloadable free of charge (one network only) from the Clipsal Australia
website. The 5500CN is in fact a PCI with an embedded Lantronix CoBox
Ethernet interface. It even uses the same redirector software as the
MSS100.
