using multiple terminals. Can someone recommend something inexpensive
and/or used? The idea is that I'd sit at one of several terminals and
select which host I want to talk to.
I've been using some DECserver90TL for
that purpose. I connect the
serial consoles to the DECserver and the use telnet to access them. The
90TL does TCP protocols as well as DECnet protocols. They come up on
eBay frequently. One complication with them is that they netboot their
system software on power up, so you have to have a MOP server available
to get them started.
No experience with anything else, so I don't have any comparisons...
