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.
It would be nice. Don't the DECserver 90 & 700 models do this?
