I've seen people put 256 lines in a single UNIX terminal server. They used 4 64-port Stallion cards (EC/64) .. it worked, kinda. It KILLED the ISA bus (the guy actually fixed it by some nice tweaking of the BIOS parameters and some source hacking) but from memory he only puts three EC/64 cards per machine now (giving you 192 ports per box). -- Adrian Chadd | UNIX, MS-DOS and Windows ... <adrian@psinet.net.au> | (also known as the Good, the bad and the | ugly..)
