Just FWIW we run a FreeBSD based (2.1-stable) terminal server here running
user-ppp and slip connections (dialup and semi-perminent).
The machine is a 486sx machine with 8mb RAM, 1 AST 4-port type serial
board, and two Cyclades 16Ye 16port cards (for total 38 ports). All
ports are locked at 38400 DTE. The ethernet card is just a cheap
NE2000 clone.
We don't seem to have any problems with this baby, and since its gone
to 2.1-stable its been up, which impresses us because our previous
commercial 16 port terminal server (chase iolan) couldn't last more than
about 18 days without a lockup/reboot (and the one 16 port unit cost
about the same as the 38port machine we put together!)
