Is there any advantage going for the Office version rather than the
Internet, if it just going to be be used as voice/fax/data server
(using vgetty), and possibly an outgoing fax. If the chipsets are
the same, all I'm paying for is a better case which isn't really important,
and I wont be using the "offline" fax/voice message capabilities ?

Also has anyone set-up m/vgetty on Solaris 7, what do I need to modify
to get vgetty to replace the Solaris stuff. I'm also connecting it
directly to a Sun Sparc 20 using the splitter cable (serial port A and B),
should I use A or B ?
