This really isn't the right newsgroup to ask this question, but it is the best I can think of. Sorry in advance to those people who don't care to see this. I have a Wang vs85 that drives a bunch of Wang 4230A, 2246C, and 2256C terminals. The problem is that some folks are getting moved out of their current location to another building and the vs85 is not going to move. I have to figure out how to drive 8 to 10 of these Wang terminals in a building a thousand feet away. I know I can pull 10 runs of the dual-coax cable, but that seems kind of silly since I have fiber optic cable between the buildings. This brings me to the point of the posting. Does anyone know of a multiplexor that will multiplex 8 to 10 Wang baseband dual-coax terminals over a fiber pair??? Wang has a terminal controller that plugs into the backplane and drives terminals over fiber, but it is expensive and there isn't enough backplane left to run it. Are there any third party solutions??? I know nothing about Wang systems or networking.
