A terminal server probably isn't the best choice then. Not completely, but
in general, terminal servers are designed to take an ETHERNET connection to
a telnet-capable host and make it available to dumb terminals or vice versa.
It doesn't sound like you are trying to so that.
You most likely don't want a terminal server, you want the data pbx that
someone else mentioned.
