anyone have a terminal server?

Richard, I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for ... but I do have a spare Newbridge 1032 data PBX. It goes up to 56 ports, and I have scads of cards for it, so I can give you the full 56. the 1032 is an async data PBX - it supports speeds from 50-19200 bps, and runs each interface independantly with buffering and flow-control to accomodate mismatched speeds (ie: your computers and terminals don't all have to run the same speed). Tons of features (I once worked out that there was 2x10**24 different ways to configure a port). Basically, you connect to the unit, then enter the name of the port or hunt-group you want to connect to. Once connected, it is as if you are directly connected. You can "escape" back to a local command prompt and do things like put the connection on hold, park it and pick it up from somewhere else etc. It does full connect/disconnect signalling via the RS-232 control lines as well. I know a lot about it because I designed it... So I can probably help with any problems you might encounter :-) I've also got some smaller 1008, 1080 and 1082 units. I can send a .TXT manual if you want more info.
