Quatech's newest addition to the ThinQ line, the SSE-200/300 single-port serial device server, is currently in Beta testing, and is scheduled for release in Q3, 2003. The SSE-200/300 serial port can be configured for either RS-422 or RS-485 communication in either full-duplex or half duplex mode. Like the rest of the ThinQ line, it is based on reliable Motorola? digital dna? technology and uses a best-in-class PowerPC? processor. On the serial side, the SSE-200/300 contains Quatech's proven high-speed, 921k-baud serial technology.

Quatech is also providing significant functional upgrades across the entire ThinQ line. SNMP support will be available for all products in Q3, as will Linux driver support. These two feature enhancements will both greatly extend the number of systems in which ThinQ can be employed, and will also provide much greater flexibility in network management of serial devices.
