I'm talking about the old Avocent designed CPS line of crap.  You're
talking about the Cyclades designed stuff, including the TS and the
ACS.  

I've got an ancient Cyclom-Y ISA 8-port serial card in my main home
computer and it's been working great for for years.  Wish I could
afford the newer stuff.
