Message-ID: <20000829141457.A19228@consol.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Getting tired of not knowing what our servers say on the console without having to walk up to their room I am looking for a terminal server. Does anybody have a recommendation of what brands to look at? I simply need to hang consoles off it - access via ssh would be optimal but telnet probably is sufficient as well. I don't want to buy something that is more expensive than a slim line PC with a multi serial card though. What I've come up so far with would cost $2500 to $3000 for 16 ports which frankly is out of my reach.
