Re: FW: ethernet to serial converters with ACLs

[Express Networks <positivelyoptimistic () gmail com>]

We've used mikrotik routerboards that support ev-do as wireless serial
adapters..    It is only good for a single port application..  but it
works..  and at a price of $99..

it would certainly support access lists..  we have them dial back to a pptp
concentrator...    just a thought..
