Pacific Systems introduces the Panacea CDP-8 as  a  solution
to  the  majority  of RS-232C interconnection problems.  The
Panacea provides 8 user-configurable RS-232C ports which may
be electronically interconnected in one-to-one, one-to-many,
or many-to-one configurations.  Data may pass between inter-
connected  ports  of differing RS-232 parameters.  For exam-
ple, a 9600 baud port with hardware handshaking  may  freely
exchange  data with a 1200 baud port with software handshak-
ing; the Panacea handles  all  flow  control  and  buffering
details.

Panacea's multiplexing feature permits  a  wide  variety  of
solutions  to common problems.  A common Panacea application
is the Console Terminal Server application in which the con-
sole  ports  of up to 6 computers or workstations are multi-
plexed so that a single printer records a hard-copy  of  all
system  messages.   A  selectable timeout feature for shared
ports maintains message integrity while  allowing  automatic
switching of data streams.  A user-selectable label for each
port identifies the data source for  easy  auditing  of  the
multiplexed data.

Other RS-232C connection problems such as electronic or phy-
sical  gender  mismatch, differing data rates or parity, and
Hardware vs Software flow control are handled  as  well.   A
simple single-screen setup menu allows all configuration and
interconnection parameters to be changed with ease.  Changes
are  then saved in non-volatile memory so that they need not
be re-entered if power is lost.

The Panacea is available today from Pacific  Systems,  Inc.,
7451  SW  Coho  Ct.,  Suite 203, Tualatin, OR 97062.  Single
unit  price is $1295.00,  a  quantity  discount  schedule is
