Is it just me, or is it about time for Tieline to dump Java and go with something else that works a bit better? On any given day, on any given machine, it's about a 50 percent chance I cannot get Java to play nice and just give me stats on my STL links to remote sites via their interface. All I want to know is the link is up and working right but it's a ordeal many times just to do that. I like Tieline products in general, but their insistance in using antique Java for the Bridge-IT products is making me question that. Telos and Comrex have the right idea. They just use a normal web page that most anything seems to like. I'm frustrated that I cannot have something similar with at least stats on our Bridge-ITs.

Tieline Java

Thanks for the info. I've heard the same from others. I'll start looking at the other units...
Other than the java interface, they are ok. But, it sure can be annoying.
What sucks the most about the Java interface is that I can't see it on my iPhone!! It also works about 60% of the time on my PC's too.
I can log on to my lowly Barix boxes from anything anywhere.
Omnia needs to lose Java on the 11 too. Same reasons, but at least it works 90% of the time. Won't play nice with Chrome though.

Aside from the interface, I do like the Bridge-ITs. I have several of them scattered around as internet STLs. I've also used the BRICs which are not much better in this regard and don't have a front-panel display. I've been buying Telos Z/IP Ones lately.
I'm ok with the Omnia 11 Java interface. It works well enough.
Don't get me started on the Monroe DASDEC's interface. It looks like a Geocities website from the 1990s. (But again, I like the box. Just...hire a web designer. Please.)

EXACTLY. I see no need for the clunky Java in the first place. In a world headed towards tablets and iphones/droids, they choose something that won't work directly with them. That's bad all by itself. My success rate is about like yours on the PC. I've un-installed and re-installed on multiple machines. I've updated firmware. It works for a while, then when you need it, it fails. Eventually out of about 4 sites I can remote into, I get one machine to finally start working with it. To be honest, it's probably more of a failure of their firware/Java server than the computers themselves. Once I get one computer to cooperate with a Tieline Bridge-IT, then it seems the other machines will work. Barix is clunky in so many ways, but their use of a simplier web interface technology certainly isn't one of their limitations. I prefer it.
