anyone have a terminal server?

I'm looking to acquire a terminal server so I can feed all the beasts simultaneously :-). Before a couple days ago, I didn't know anything about terminals servers beyond the fact that they existed, so consider me a n00b. I see that DEC has had a line of terminal servers. They look like they would do the job (my needs are more along the lines of connectivity rather than fancy features like 3270 support). Reading around on the net indicates that Xylogics had a good line of terminal servers, but that the similarly named Xyplex had buggy product. I'm not fixated on the DEC brand, but it looks like they made lots of product over the years making them readily available and reasonably priced. I'm looking for at least 16 ports, preferably 32 as I've already got more than 16 terminals :-). Whether those 32 ports come in one box or two boxes (or even 4 boxes) is not so much a concern to me as is the total cost of acquisition. Ultimately this could feed into a public interactive museum space exhibit on timesharing. At the moment I could connect the following: - DEC LA-120 VT-100 VT-278 - Heath/Zenith Z-19 - Hewlett-Packard HP1351A HP2397A HP2621A HP2648A (2) - Honeywell VIP 7809 - Lear Siegler ADM-3A ADM-5 (2) - Megatek Whizzard 1645 - Tektronix 4010 4014 4105 (4) 9200T (6) 9201T (8) - Televideo 925 - Teletype Model 43 - Texas Instruments Silent 700 (2) - Westinghouse W1643 Total: 39 Now realistically, I don't think it would be fruitfull to connect all 39 terminals in my collection as i) I plan on liquidating some of the Tektronxi 9200T/9201Ts, one of the Silent 700s only has a modem interface on the exterior and the Westinghouse doesn't have a keyboard and has some sort of weird party line interface. However, even if you factor all of those out of the picture a 32-port server still only leaves me a few ports open. I'd probably need to get up to 64 line capacity at some point. Suggestions? Currently I've been looking at the DECserver stuff on ebay; they seem relatively plentiful and it seems that with patience a good price could be had. There's a bundle of them on govliq right now, but the operating condition is unknown. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline"-- code samples, sample chapter, FAQ: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/> Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty <http://pilgrimage.scene.org>
