If you're happy with RS-232 only (but with HS and baud rate conversion) then I've got some 16-port NetCommanders for ya. Also some modems and statmux concentrators if they're in different cities ;-) And I could probably also find a nice model 500 phone (and maybe even the DataPhone version) and an acoustic coupler for that other project ;-) Yeah, I thought it was neat first time I saw it, but a little pricey...

Can someone recommend something inexpensive and/or used? The idea is that I'd sit at one of several terminals and select which host I want to talk to. While mentally rolling this around this afternoon, I found my way to this perverse fantasy -- going "online" in public with a Sparkfun portable rotary phone[1] and a portable printing terminal (say, a Tandy PT-210).
