Got one, not sure if I like it. The front-panel is pretty nice, but I don't
have any docs so getting forward with it was a bit "challenging". I haven't
tested any LAT-functionality but I got terminal->server->telnet working
pretty quickly. I'm currently running a DecServer 200 that mop-boots
from NetBSD and gives me reverse lat for my closet-friendly computers.

I know that my VCP-1000 didn't require any external firmware downloads and
that front-panel certainly is cool :-)

People have very strong emotions about them, judging from groups.google.com.
