<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have an application for some dial-up modems for out of
band management but the only power available is 48v DC. Does anyone have
a line on any reasonably priced serial dial-up modems, or perhaps a dc/dc
converter or what have you that would let them run off 48vDC? The ones
I’ve found have all been industrial-strength hardened type stuff and
clocking in at $700+ which is just not practical.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas? On or off list replies are welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
