1600 terminal servers, or even still has one in service. I've got one
with the memory expansion, but no flash card to boot it from. I have
what is supposed to be the latest firmware, but I can't seem to get it
to boot properly. The image is tftp'd, and then the box seems to
reboot again-- starts the self test over, and fetches the image again.
This too has someone's old config set on it, which might be part of
the problem.
I can't say anything good about Xyplex ethernet gear made in the mid to
late 90s, but their terminal server units may be a little better. Xyplex
will still sell you the software for their terminal servers, but you won't
like the price. I have a dual floppy drive stored away somewhere for a
Xyplex terminal server. It is labeled as "bad", but I imagine it can be
repaired easily.
