Looking for opinion on Perle CS9000

Hi Lads

I've been looking for a good quality console server for the server farm (zoo?) in my office and I've just been 
offered a used 24-port Perle CS9000 for ~300USD plus shipping. It was pulled from a dead ISP and saw about two weeks use in the rack before decomissioning.

Has anyone used one of these? Anyone have a strong opinion on them? Can you safely expose them to an unprotected external network interface? 

I want enable external connections to HP 9000, Sun, SGI, RS/6000, Compaq/DEC alpha, and Cisco hardware.

Regards,

Gavin
