Telebit's Netblazer was a simple PC, with all the "nice" features of cheap PCs: Exploding power supplies and unreliable floppy disk drives. Many years ago I've seen a working Netblazer clone, you just needed the right main board and a copy of the Netblazer BIOS EPROM. A quite common trick was using cheap ethernet cards from the PC shop instead of the $$$ Telebit interfaces. I had to use a (original!!) Netblazer as a packet filter, Without much success, the simple routing between ethernet interfaces didn't work reliably. Rudi
