I have loads of VAX's I wonder if it's possible to do Telnet in,

RS232 with modem emulation (Assert DCD when connected) out on a VAX.
I had both the Lantronix and Xyplex terminal servers (mentioned
earlier) working as follows:
I linked them to the serial ports of a communication multiplexor on a
PDP-11.
When someone TELNET'ed in to the IP address of the terminal server,
they were automatically connected round-robin style to the next
available serial port.
This raised one of the signal lines high, which the operating system
detected,
and responded with the login prompt.
Likewise, when the user logged out, their TELNET session disconnected
automatically.
