However, its my understanding that you could use the
terminal server
"in reverse" to connect from the TCP/IP enabled machine to a port on
the terminal server and from there talk to the RS-232 style monitor
port on an older machine like some S-100 bus based machine.
This depends on the terminal server. Some of them do this ("reverse
telnet", I think at least one of them calls it); others don't. If this
is what you want, you need to be careful when looking at terminal
servers to make sure you get one that can do it.
