Point of sale RAS hardware?
Does anyone know of a good RAS product that supports the fast train times needed for point of sale terminals (specifically the ability to turn off data compression, error detection, and speed negotiation)? Most every one I've seen is aimed at serving as-fast-as-possible dialup network access to normal modems, but I need something that will do 1200bps (or even better yet, v.22FC) with no frills. Can anyone suggest a product or manufacturer?

Which is probably why they end up buying the expensive, supported one (like everyone else). It's also why they get worms. -j
RE: AOL rejecting mail from IP's w/o reverse DNS ?
Perhaps I'm being naïve, but this seems like a very good way to cause spammers to suddenly start having valid PTR RRs. Thoughts? -j -- Jeffrey Paul - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (877) 748-3467 Senior Network Administrator, Diamond Financial Products
Wireless MAN product experiences?
We're looking to setup a point-to-point link between two buildings circa 1.5km apart. Optical, RF, whatever. This would be in the Detroit metro area (Southfield, actually) so snow is to be expected at least part of the year. License-free would be ideal. The devices, or at least the transcievers themselves if seperate, must be weatherproof/ruggedized for outdoor use (obviously). One endpoint will go on a one-story building, the other can either be placed inside our 10th floor suite (about 140' up) and go through a green-tinted glass window, or on the roof (250' up). 100mbps is ideal, although if it's significantly cheaper to drop to 10, that might be an option. I was thinking that 54mbit 802.11g might be a good price-performance mix, but I don't know of the other products available out there. Does anyone have experience with something like this? Should we try using WiFi and directional antennas, or is that insane? What sort of experience have you guys had with different vendors gear? Please reply offlist and I'll summarize my findings to the list afterward.
