Look for a microAnnex. Mine has 16 ports, and a 1900-line config file :-)

I still use an
Annex for consoles on a few of my machines (like some of
the PDP-11s). They were made by Xylogics, later bought by Bay Networks
=> Nortel and are sometimes to be found rebadged by Sun. They're very
versatile, and you can use the ports in all sorts of ways.
I am familiar with Annex terminal servers, but only from a user
standpoint. I've never owned one nor set one up (in the day these
were popular, we had large amounts of real ports on our boxes (16-56
each) and no TCP/IP). Is there an annex model with 8-16 ports I
should look for? I really don't need to keep something with 48 ports
powered up.
