Is is possible to connect two terminal servers across rs-232 ports and route between them over this line? Or how about a terminal server with a special rs-232 port instead of an ethernet interface. I have an application for a remote terminal server without the need for an ethernet interface. Any ideas? -- Brian Holmes PHONE: (313) 577-3750 FAX=577-5626 Wayne State University BITNET: bholmes@waynest1.bitnet 5925 Woodward INTERNET: bri@jake.cc.wayne.edu Detroit, MI 48202 U.S.A

Any ideas? >-- >Brian Holmes You may wish to consider the following for connecting a remote terminal server which does not need ethernet access. cisco Terminal Servers can be ordered with synchronous interfaces. ---------| |---------|-> Backbone | T1/56Kbps |cisco |-> cisco AGS|----------------------|Terminal |-> Terminals/ | |Server |-> Modems ---------| |_________|-> ++++++++++ All routing, minimal as it is for the Terminal Server is done with over the serial link. (This is how CERFnet uses its Terminal servers for DIAL n' CERF, our dial-up Internet Access Service.) --pushpendra CERFnet (619) 534-5056
