[Bryan J. Smith]

For those of you Mac users, you might like the fact that it has
AppleTalk and other Mac-centric client support too!  Some other cool
protocol support is also included.

Tom's Hardware did a review of the DS-106e (cheaper, non-FTPS enabled,
version) in June:

seem to be more interested in blindly aligning themselves
with one of only two viewponts -- an "us v. them" debate
