I have two DZV11s (4 lines each) and my two lines coming off the CPU at the
moment, so 10 lines total. That's it. Depending on what I buy for a
terminal server, I was going to wire up the berg connector to suit it.
I'd like to stick with genuine DEC hardware, as they mount nicely in my DEC
rack. What's the cheapest DECserver that supports telnet? I'm sort of on a
budget, but I've seen many go for quite cheap on ebay. However, I have no
idea what I'm looking at.
A list of what supports what for DECservers would be great, if anyone can
provide that off the top of their head.
Thanks!
Julian

The early DECservers use LAT (not DECnet) for ethernet connectivity
and MOP to downline load. The later DECservers do support telnet
(and bootp/tftp to load an image). So what do you have?
