IBM 5494 Controller has been Withdrawn

Upgrade to TCP/IP based Twinax Controller

Since the introduction of SNA servers running AnyNet in 1992, we have seen desktops adopt and then abandon this solution in favor of TN5250e. Isn’t it logical to expect that remote controllers will follow suit?

Twinax networks with BOScom's TCP/IP e-Twin@x Controller have proven to be more stable and faster than the IBM 5494 Controller. This is because the e-Twin@x Controller uses pure TCP/IP. The IBM 5494 controller is based on the outdated SNA over AnyNet.

The IBM 5494 Controller was discontinued at the end of 1999.

BOScom clearly leads the field with its e-Twin@x Controller, introduced in March of 1999. The current installed base is over 5000, and the number of satisfied customers continues to increase on a yearly basis. The e-Twin@x Controller uses the same TCP/IP protocol as the very stable and field-tested BOSâNOVA TCP/IP TN5250e emulator, which has been installed and working on hundreds of thousands PCs since 1997. Some of our clients have saved over $1,500,000 by using the e-Twin@x Controller!! Hard to believe? Read our case studies.

IBM 5494 Controller owners: You don't have to abandon your Twinax infrastructure! Keep your hard working IPDS printers and leave that Twinax cable in place.
