Neat little box.

The only problem I see is finding cabling for them.  

The cable bundle costs as much as the unit on ebay, and that gives you
RJ45 which you then have to convert to DB-25.

Still, it is a lot smaller than my Portmaster.

Does it work really well?

The Portmaster... I never was able to get it completely configured now
I wanted. Always seemed to be something that wasn't quite right in the
serial connections. Worked well enough to get work done, but only as a
console.
