Yes, we do have some Moxa devices also. Lantronix or Moxa is
totally transparent for the VMS box, we can't tell which it is.

But, since our local factory IT group knows the Moxa devices,
I would had expected them to already suggest something, if Moxa
has something to offer.

I'll take a quick look at the Moxa series of devices...
