Putting PDP11/44 on the net...?

  Since I'm (mostly to very dumb) when it comes to these things - I would
like to ask for opinions/advice/recommendations from the List on what the
best way would be to attach one of the terminal ports on the machine to
the Net, to allow folks to telnet in and play with the system remotely.

  I was thinking phone-line -> modem-> Net-to-serial-box-> 11/44 port.

  There are 30 ports, all will run at least 9600, and I do have a
registered and hosted (though inactive) domain name... not that the two
would be related.

  This would of course be for during the periods that the system was on...
and I sure as Hell am *not* considering leaving 'er up 24/7...
electricity, noise, hAxOrZ (in that order) would deter that. Might be fun
to have a mirrored emulator tho...

  Anyway - those of you who are smart in this area: how owuld you do this?

  Cheers

John
