Hi Jill Thanks for both of your emails. I had considered the Cyclades terminal servers but the client has insisted on using the stand alone Linux PC's as he already has them. I was thinking along the lines of using Stallion cards as these are well supported under Linux. These also are not that expensive, around $800 each. What I am really interested in is a way of creating a virtual multiplexer for the 8 ports on the Stallion card.
The whole idea is that the 2 Linux PC's and the dial up serial link has to look transparent to the devices. At present I have not been able to find much info on how to achieve this.
