Cyclades and Digi are both long-time makers in this arena.
Cyclades was the first (and only) console server hardware we found in our
Serial BREAK testing that had a software-controlled BREAK problem. Once
the recipe was sent on how to demonstrate the problem, we received a patch
within a few days which resolved the issue. The TS2000 hardware was also
enhanced during the design phase to ensure that the BREAK problem did not
exist in the final product.

Digi has also entered the Console Server hardware arena, with the PortServer
CM product line. The CM32 is also a good fit with Conserver. The existing
PortServer Terminal Server line is also still available.
