precisely IS it? Terminal server? Mux?
It's a multiplexor, takes many ports and multiplexes them into one
output which goes to the dedicated modem. Look on the _back_ of the
communications server, that's where it comes out, it goes in on the front,
up to 8 or so cards can be mounted for input channels. :)
After reading what the other person said, maybe I don't know what
the thing is, but then again, that's why I gave it away. ;) Looks like
Tony alread found uses for it, so I'm happy. Better than the dumpster.
