Thanks for the indepth discussion of the Annex problems folks. It has been a valuable exercise for me. While the Annex would seem to be fine for internal work, and has been ok up until the recent advancements in software from various vendors, it now seems that it has reached its limits in the Internet world. This it seems is due in large part to the policies of the Annex manufacturers. If the thing cant be upgraded, at least for nominal cost, then it may as well be a small boat anchor. I certainly wont be buying another one. The probelm is compounded down under. The US company doesn't want to know about anyone outside North America, specifically the US, and the Australian company, and distributors simply don't reply to email, and plead insanity when called direct! The usual "We'll look into it and get back to you" So, does anyone know of a _good_ annex type device that will do the same job? 8 port, Rj45, Ethernet-UTP and can handle auto-dialing to connect to the provider, .....and most of all :-) speaks rfc1323. Thanks again folks. Cheers Robert -- chalmers.com.au: P.O. Box 2003.
