Re: [foxboro] Server 70 client as Configuration Station

Remote DM's or Foxviews are not an option with 70Series. You could 
upgrade to a 70 style C and get more "room". Adding a WP70 may be more 
efficient?
Using an AW for operations is not a problem. From the Operator's point 
of view it's the same as a WP70. It may be a bit slower due to 
additional functions it performs but that is usually compensated by 
adding more memory and a SCSI subsystem so it normally is a non-issue.

I will continue having weekend now ;-))
