That's OK - any DEC reseller will be glad to sell you something like a
DECServer 700. Looking through the _Processor_ that came in the mail
today I see some 16-port units with flash memory in the $1500-$2000
price range. They're *nice* terminal servers - you can even set them
up as either end of a PPP connection and they'll route to/from your
LAN!
