Best ISDN Router: Pipeline 50 Router Offers Bang For The Buck
It may cost a little more, but Ascend's Pipeline 50 ISDN Router is the best
value in ISDN routers. If speed is what you're after (and, in this category,
who isn't?), Pipeline's onboard compression won't disappoint: We saw compression
ratios of up to 5:1 in our lab tests. Although it still bridges IPX, Pipeline
will spoof the overhead in NetWare internetworking--watchdog, Router Information
Protocol (RIP) and Server Advertising Protocol (SAP) packets--that tends
to drive your ISDN costs through the roof.
If you're looking for control, Pipe
line 50 delivers in that department,
too. You can customize connection variables by destination by filtering
send and receive packets. You can configure the box with a Telnet interface
or an SNMP manager. In addition, the Pipeline 50 supports PAP, CHAP, callback,
TACACS, SecurID and Enigma security authentication.
Pipeline 50 ISDN Router is also easy to install and easy to manage. Ascend
has made ISDN as simple to use as current service providers will allow,
and it leads the pack toward easier deployment of ISDN in your network.
