Alright,
I'm getting ready to make my 11/23+ available online for people to play
with, but I'm a bit stumped as far as how I should attach the serial
lines to my Ethernet network.
Now, I have a Sun server running Solaris 10 which I was able to connect
a couple serial lines to and then tunneled that through a telnet port,
but I'd rather not do that...with the setup I'm thinking of, we're
talking about a whole lot of cable running into that box.
Does anyone here have suggestions on what I should use for a terminal
server? If I could just mount a DECserver box in my PDP-11 chassis that
would be great, but isn't the Ethernet port DECnet-only?
Look on ebay for a DECserver 700. There are 8- and 16-port versions.
They will do telnet.
Peace... Sridhar
