Although the original topic of this thread has changed quite a bit, I wanted
to point out that the "SPF" Product that you are discussing is quite similar
to our product, the FSV-4PFS.  Ours is a 4 port device which can switch 4
T1/E1/J1/Ethernet or as many as 16 analog lines from a primary to a backup
server.  It uses similar logic (power outage = failover server, loss of
hearbeat = failover server) and also has a physical mechanical switch on the
front of it which allows manual override switching to main or secondary
server.

We also have addressed the 'clean startup' that was discussed a few posts
back.  The switch will start and remain in 'failover mode' until such time
as it receives a hearbeat or the physical switch is moved to the "main'
position.  A failed main server can be restarted/repowered without bothering
the backup server operation one bit - until you are ready to switch back to
the main server.

You've got that right my friend! :-)

Strange.  I've seen this happen before where retailers will list

outrageously high prices for soon-to-be-released products.   For example

the SNOM KlarVoice handset.  MSRP is $32, but I've seen it advertised for
$200!

I can say with confidence that the LIST price is US $350.  The street price
will be considerably lower.  Frankly, if I were Snom or Rhino I'd be pretty
cheezed off about this phenomenon.  After hearing the 'buzz'

about a new product such as this, I'd hate for customers to *decide* against
it mistkenly believing this incorrect price.  I'd turn my nose at either of
these two products for the incorrect prices I've seen advertised.



We're pretty stoked to have stumbled onto this product because it's brand
new, and we've been looking for something like it for some time.
