Has anyone used a terminal server to front end a non-networking host? I
would like to know which servers can be used in this fasion and any problems
to be aware of. I would like to be able to configure it such that we
could telnet/rlogin to one address and be connected to the next available
port rather than having to try a set of addresses. Thanks in advance,

As far as I know the two best servers for this type of function are the cisco and bridge products. Which is a better device for you depends on the size of your general networking problem, although, I prefer cisco. Both are able to set up a rotary to alias an ethernet address to a group of ports. cisco: 1 415 326 1941 bridge:1 415 969 4400 have fun....... /S* #incude<standard disclaimer>
