Hmmm.. that's kinda impossible for me because,
things like DECServer 700
don't pop up too often...
That's OK - any DEC reseller will be glad to sell you something like a
DECServer 700. Looking through the _Processor_ that came in the mail
today I see some 16-port units with flash memory in the $1500-$2000
price range. They're *nice* terminal servers - you can even set them
up as either end of a PPP connection and they'll route to/from your
LAN! Probably to buy a cheap multiport serial card. Cyclades
has some nice
unintelligent cards, as well as some nice (but quite spendy) intelligent
cards and terminal servers.
You know of one for $25.00? That doesn't require and IRQ for every port?
I have comms programs for the Amiga if you still need
them (and if you
find one for the Atari 800 let me know because I need one ;) )
Can you copy the ROMs?
