Actually, I think that you can do this fairly readily with Xyplex
Maxserver 16xx's, or any DECserver that does reverse LAT.
Perhaps, a pair of DS500s or DS550s. :)

To which Der Mouse replied...
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.
Exactly my point... which is why I said " *GENERALLY* terminal
servers aren't the right tool for this", and instead said the data
pbx was. Richard keeps saying 'terminal server', but all he specifies
makes me think he wants the data pbx instead.
