Chili Systems / ChiliBox / SPI Firewall / POP3 Email Server / NAT,PAT Routing / DHCP Server / Dynamic DNS / 160GB Hard Drive / W – Customer Reviews

If you read no further, read this: BUY THIS SERVER!

First some background: I'm no novice to small office servers and networks. I've had them all (I think) Cobalt Qube, BOSS, Triton , and Toshiba Magnia SG20, 30...you get the idea.

I read about the chilibox and decided it has all the features I need. Pleanty of storage space, external USB hard drive (for back up ) Wireless 802.11g built in...

The chilibox arrived friday afternoon and I started to set it up friday evening and ran into a snag so I thought "there goes my evening!" then I noticed on the quick start guide the tech support phone number, what a suprise! (most companies try to hide thetech support phone numbers) it was 8:00 PM but I gave them a call anyway, of course I was routed to voice mail so I just hung up in disgust and I knew I would have to wait untill monday.. Imigane my suprise when tech support called me back five minutes later! I didn't even leave a message. (Sorry Chilibox tech support, I didn't know you were different from the rest)

Tech support talked me through setup and discovered a step I missed and I was up and running in five minutes.

one half hour later I had my whole office up and running both wired and wireless... even remote users, file shares, and automated backup. what a pleasure to use this server.
