Subject:   hardware to control multiple FreeBSD boxes via serial?
Message-ID:  <004a01c0f57b$e5733890$0b2d2d0a@battleship>

I am looking for a peice of hardware that allows me and my crew to control a
bunch of FreeBSD boxes via serial console.

So basicly I am looking for a box with a bunch of serial ports and an
ethernet ports.  By a bunch I mean 20 or 30 ports.

Some features I am looking for:
- Allows admin to telnet in and then specify which port to attach to
- Some sort of authentication (obviously)
- Per port access controls (certain users can access certain ports, etc)
- Cheap.  Our ISP robs us blind, thus we have very little money.
- Allows multiple connections at once to diffrent ports (admins working on
multiple machines)

I know a livingston portmaster 2 can do most of it, but it really isn't
designed with this sort of use in mind.  I am wondering if there are any
other options.
