anyone have a terminal server?

I'm thinking the VAXserver could handle this, the only question is if the OpenVMS license would allow for multiple logon sessions. In some alternative reality I would like to reproduce a midrange timesharing system, probably something PDP-11 based. But those didn't have ethernet back in the day, I don't know how well they would work with a terminal server. Our PDP-11/70 had gobs of serial ports on it, I think. However, its my understanding that you could use the terminal server "in reverse" to connect from the TCP/IP enabled machine to a port on the terminal server and from there talk to the RS-232 style monitor port on an older machine like some S-100 bus based machine. While this is not my use case, I thought you could do this as people on the net talk about using terminal servers to monitor the serial console port on a Sun. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline"-- code samples, sample chapter, FAQ: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/> Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty <http://pilgrimage.scene.org>
