Note that the cost of these boxes makes them attractive. We get them
for just $1800 from our vendor (sans modem or BRI). We also like that
the code is so identical to our bigger maxen. Uniformity of platform
is attractive. And we'd rather go this kind of route than say an NT
box with a modem card. If you get one of the good Max 200's it'll
likely work well for you. But be prepared for a 40% chance you'll
need an RMA.
If I were to do it over again I would look at the 3Com. They've got a
model that uses two BRIs and no separate analog modems. It runs
$4,000 - $5,000. I'd also look at the Shiva.

The archives of this list are filled with references to problems
with the 200+. So far I have been very happy with the MAX 400x
and Pipeline family, but we really require a vendor with a solid
low-end product. I am interested in hearing current opinions
from people with experience with the 200+.
Thanks,
Dean Heltemes
