I'd love to see the list - I missed it. There are a few things I like
better about
the Livingston but not necessarily enough for me not to enjoy the 50% per
port cost savings of Computone. The only things I miss are per port packet
counts for usage monitoring which I suppose I can get from SMNP monitoring.
Computone also does one thing I really like - they respond promptly to e-mail
support inquiries. Maybe Livingston has improved recently in this area but a
few months back it was taking weeks to get answers from e-mail and then
only after I jumped up and down.
