It is, however 5 years ago the choice was different and much smaller (in this category). They have since switched from Freescale Power to ARM as the hardware platform, and presumably still use Linux with a custom app to drive it. Control CLI access is over SSHv2 over IPv4/IPv6; likewise serial port access (both ways). Per-port and per-plug user accounts can be created. There's also control HTTPS and I believe telnet access available, but who needs that? Of course both can be disabled. > That's neat!

The usual manufacturers I knew of back then didn't have the features I needed. Maciej
