I am familiar with Annex terminal servers, but only from a user

should look for? I really don't need to keep something with 48 ports
powered up.

Livingston Portmaster or Encore Annex/Microannex
were commonly used
TCP/IP milking machines.
I still use an Annex for consoles on a few of my machines (like some of
the PDP-11s). They were made by Xylogics, later bought by Bay Networks
=> Nortel and are sometimes to be found rebadged by Sun. They're very
versatile, and you can use the ports in all sorts of ways.
