Not only does this meet the serial intensive demands of Linux administrators, it also enables them to gain maximum value per port by providing an additional 16 "virtual" ports at no charge. Virtual ports offer all the key benefits of CCM physical ports: share mode, offline buffering, NFS (Network File System) The file sharing protocol in a Unix network.
