Ah, but measure that against our list of features (<http://www.etinc.com/ethssi.htm#features>www.etinc.com/ethssi.htm#features) and see how they compare (plus they dont even use a real HDLC controller). Things like hot-swap may make a difference given equal products, but they are far from equal. As you've learned with ethernet controllers, the hardware helps, but the real issue is the software/drivers.
