Hi,

I'm looking for an inexpensive 1 modem port terminal server product
to serve 1 phone line and have an ethernet port (10baseT, thin net??)>

I know that the NetBlazer box does this at about $1200.  But it also
has lots of firmware overhead etc like routing that bloats it's cost??

I'm looking for V.34 modem ($400) + Lan card ($100) + small processor
for the range of $600.

The firmware would have to speak TCP/IP and at least support telnet.
Would be nice if it did SLIP/PPP too.

Any products come to mind??

Thanks so much.

Curt.

Don't know if you are going to find a comersal product for $600 but you could 
try something based on a 286 pc.  I seem to remember a routeing package called 
KBridge which supported ethernet and SLIP/PPP routeing.  Another thing you 
could try is one of the NOS packages which exist.  Check out 'ftp://ucsd.edu" 
or "ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu".  

Hope this helps.  

Doug
