Network protocols - RS232 Serial

That's the baby, all right, but both the units and the manuals say "Products"; guess when they made yours that was the only product they had :) And these are the NC16 serial-only model, HW or XON/XOFF selectable, no parallel ports (but I do have some S/P converters... :)

And I was mistaken, now that I think back; the RJ45 model (which these are) can not select DCE/DTE, it's fixed (although I don't recall which).

$2995 (no, no decimals in there) when new!!!! Just found the price list. And these later models handled binary data a little better.

Did I mention modem/printer sharing, many-to-many? Or computer-less local e-mail & messaging (within 250 K of course)?

Are you sure that's not 'Digital Product Inc'? I have a couple of
NetCommanders here. Quite nice multi-port RS232 and parallel
'switchboxes'.
