I've got a decserver 200/mc and I've managed to get the terminal server
software to load.
What I'd like to do is set it up so I can hang my various unix boxes off
of it and use the console port on the terminal server to switch between
them. [think: serial kvm]
I know I'm going to need a pile of null-modems, but I have no idea how
to configure the server to do what I want. The documentation I've come
across seems to indicate that this is possible.
Anyone have any documentation on how I'd set this up? I don't need LAT,
so that's not really an issue.
[of course, if anyone has a newer terminal server that'll do this that
they're willing to part with for postage, I'd not turn it down :) ]

You will need lat unless you're planning to use one port to connect to the
other seven with no other network.
I'll see if I can find my cook book for setting up the ports....

Well, since its just for doing bootups and all of the machines have
TCP/IP once their OS comes up, plus the terminal is sitting right next
to my main workstation, I shouldn't need LAT :)
Its good to know its possible!
Thanks!

New subject: [rescue] Decserver 200/MC as console switch?
I want to thank everyone who sent me information on getting this to
work! Its working like a charm and I've only burnt myself a couple of
times while making null modems! :)
Thanks everyone!
