Speaking of terminal servers, I picked up a pair of
Datability Vista
VCP-1000 terminal servers when my (old) work were going to just toss
them out. Anybody have any experience with these?
Got one, not sure if I like it. The front-panel is pretty nice, but I don't
have any docs so getting forward with it was a bit "challenging". I haven't
tested any LAT-functionality but I got terminal->server->telnet working
pretty quickly. I'm currently running a DecServer 200 that mop-boots
from NetBSD and gives me reverse lat for my
closet-friendly computers.
I know that my VCP-1000 didn't require any external firmware downloads and
that front-panel certainly is cool :-)
People have very strong emotions about them, judging from groups.google.com.
