We used these quite a bit. Uplogix has some interesting automation, and the=
phone line/OOB is pretty slick. One cool thing about uplogix is it has a s=
urgical rollback feature. You can set many different conditions and rules, =
and the router will dutifully execute a fall back procedure automatically. =
We had a switch plugged in, and I did a port range and added "shut" to all =
of the ports. Once they all went down, uplogix noticed and after a pre defi=
ned time it went back in and restored to the last known good configuration.=

I guess Cyclades is now Avocent, used these at Clearwire. Can come with
dual 48VDC supplies. Think of a 48 serial port Linux box. Has PCM/CIA
slot for modem. Multiple users can be logged in at the same time.
