Mark, Thanks. This would be a good solution if everything was in the same general area. Plus as part of this project I want to get the devices "on the LAN" which is actually the easy part. I can wire the hosts up to readily available console/terminal servers and they can be accessed from any device with telnet capability (e.g. my mobile phone on the road using VPN). The "fun" part for me was to get an old style dumb terminal to work with the setup hence my original question. That way I could have the dumb terminal on my desk or somewhere convenient and show it off connecting to the different hosts. -Ali
