The 4500 is a Guardian OS unit. We have just started seeing these with in the last 6 mo. You may need to contact Adaptec Tech support. Since Adaptec pruchased Snap there is a fee now for support, $120. This is refunded if they are unable to help you.

We have been hoping someone with these units would join the forum and help up out.

Null modem cable, have several. Havn't used in years.

This is quite a project. But a very usefull one. What flavor of unix are you using?
