The terminals are Wyse terminals, but I don't want to hook them directly to the server, but convert the serial to Ethernet like an external print server.... We have remote locations that dial into a box (serially), but I would rather connect through a network (inet) and use them on a telnet basis.... I am not actually sure a device exists, but thought I would put the question out there. Wyse has the Winterm suites which has tcp/ip enabled in the firmware, but we have a good 500 dumb terminals (Wyse 50), that would have to be converted which could be somewhat cost prohibitive to buy new/used winterms.
