Not sure if Alerton still sells a BCM-TUX

I got a building full of TUX controllers from Alerton. Can a JACE talk to these? I did a ctrl+f search of my price list and I got no hits for Alerton or TUX.
The BCMs on-site will not talk to anything on their TUX port. They talk ethernet just fine. The VAVs show no change no blinkies at all - just a slow 5 second flash.
I went through ASN and documentation is typical for 90s technologies. They need to rip the whole thing out aready.
I know this is a long shot because TUX has an 8vdc bus voltage, kinda out of the range of a JACE likely

No no more BCM-TUX, but the ACM has a TUX option card.... seems promising

Thanks Digo I swear I cannot find a thing ever on there....
Anyway, the suggested solution is to:
Of course the reason for the conversion is that they already have all 3 of these, but the TUX BCMs are failing. If I tell them they need to buy new BCMs so they can go to Niagara, that is no good. Seems like Honeywell is holding out since the ACM is mostly JACE, and there is a TUX option card for it. Their RS485 and LON option cards are the EXACT same thing as the old AX JACE option cards (at least at first glance) There is the know how to make it happen, but they are protecting their old proprietary stuff. Not saying I blame them it just does not help me out is all....Probably the easiest (if not the only) way is to use Alerton Ibex-to-BACnet convertor: BCM-PWS + BCM-ETH + BCM-TUX.

Haha, in the end Moneywell gets theirs one way or another.
