Alright,
I'm getting ready to make my 11/23+ available online for people to play
with, but I'm a bit stumped as far as how I should attach the serial
lines to my Ethernet network.
Fun. What exactly do you have on the 11/23?
Only serial lines, or do you have ethernet as well?
Now, I have a Sun server running Solaris 10 which I
was able to connect
a couple serial lines to and then tunneled that through a telnet port,
but I'd rather not do that...with the setup I'm thinking of, we're
talking about a whole lot of cable running into that box.
That is one very common way of doing it.
Does anyone here have suggestions on what I should use
for a terminal
server? If I could just mount a DECserver box in my PDP-11 chassis that
would be great, but isn't the Ethernet port DECnet-only?
The ethernet port is ethernet only. :-)
However, the terminal server might be LAT only, in which case you'll
have some problems, since I assume you want people to be able to telnet
to the box from outside, so you really need something that speak tcp/ip
and telnet.
