"My favorite gateway product is Bay Networks' Instant Internet, which I managed to get up and running in five minutes flat," wrote Roger Gann, editor for Internet Magazine. "The product got top scores for installation, client-end support, price and intuitive management."
The review also examined the quality of the Instant Internet 100 Internet Access Gateway's management features; "Instant Internet also comes with some impressive management tools," wrote Gann. "This includes comprehensive monitoring of the ISDN line. You can watch traffic levels, bring either the B channel up or down, and even run diagnostics."

"We worked hard to make Instant Internet easy," said Rod Frey, General Manager of Bay Networks' Internet CPE and Applications Division. "Instant Internet is designed for the small-to-medium size businesses that do not have the luxury of having a full- time IS manager." |
