SOFTNET / SOFTBUS - Integration With S5H and APRED

We have a integration to do but We have doubts about which is the best solution. Our customer are making a modernization of his plant. At this moment he has S5-H (S5 Redundant system) communicating with aPROKON LSX (in SOLARIS) and he wants to change the supervisor. The problem is that this new supervisor does not communicate with S5-H directly, so We have to integrate using SOFTNET / SOFTBUS.
The question is:
Do We have to buy a special board like CP1613 or CP1413 ?
The recent version of SOFTNET / SOFTBUS supports APRED ?
We need to use for this integration Windows 2003 Server or Linux RedHat. It is possible ?

Does anybody know some thing about the that ?


Thanks.
