I would stay away from IMC, they may be cheap but you get what you pay for.
Timo's is right, the Canoga transceivers are excellent. The only problem
I've had is with the standalone models; the power supply had failed on a
couple of them, but swap them out with another and your off and running
again. Canoga was aware of this problem and supposedly fixed it.
Another alternative is Transitions networks www.transition.com. I haven't
had much experience with them personally, but I hear good things about
them. They are also not as bulky as the Canogas, giving you a higher port
density, per RMU.
