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!) pasa: {4} uptime 8:48PM up 51 days, 12:26, 14 users, load averages: 0.27, 0.23, 0.15 Peter -- Peter Childs --- http://www.imforei.apana.org.au/~pjchilds Finger pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au for public PGP key Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object!
