OVERVIEW
The PCI RS-232 and Multiprotocol Adapters provide the PC
with a single-channel RS-232 or multiprotocol serial interface
using the Zilog Z85230 (ESCC) chip. These chips are suitable
for the most popular communication protocols including
HDLC/SDLC, X.25, bisync, monosync, sync, and async. Contact
Black Box Technical Support for the latest drivers.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support
contract, the technical support and service they receive falls
far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth
what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
