What brand of terminal server? How intelligent is it.
The last time I fiddled with this was three years ago with CS300 term
servs and Xenix (on 286) controller (and it WAS on a thick ethernet
spine too - deja vue).
Personally, if it is company time, look at print servers.
Blatant plug = <I like and sell the Axis ones - multiprotocol - download
text file, config, upload and reboot = $110/port, or latest gui/www
config a bit higher).
Alternatively, run up a 386/486+ as a linux box (tcp/ip) with Samba
(ms/os2/netbieu) and netware stuff (ipx).
