Equinox Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:EQNX), today announced the introduction of low priced SuperSerial 4- and 8-port PCI MultiModem products. At the same time, the company announced sharp reductions in the price of its SST

The new 4- and 8-port SST MultiModem PCI adapters provide servers with powerful V.90 modems for direct connection to analog phone lines. Operating system support includes Windows NT, Windows 2000, Citrix Metaframe and Winframe, Linux, SCO Unixware and Openserver. Compatibility with a wide range of third-party software products enables rapid deployment of server-based solutions for Internet access, modem pooling, fax and dial access. As with all SuperSerial products, Equiview Plus management tool ships free in every box.

With list prices of only $895 and $1595, the SST 4- and 8-port MultiModem PCI products offer VARs and integrators up to 40 percent savings over competitive products. These server based adapters will be available through distributors and resellers in early July.
