 Ah. Rats!! So I cannot hook terminals X1, X2, Xn to one 90L+; thence via
(properly terminated) RG /58 50 ohm coax to the second 90L+ with the
corresponding serial ports hooked to Machine Ports Y1, Y2, Yn...

  What I understand now is that the 90L+ is "single-ended" device that
expects some server-thingy / software on the other end of the Thinwire...?


  Well - saved me a cold slog into Carson City tomorrow... ;{}


  Anyone wanna trade these things for a multi-port (8 is too many) RS232 -
LAN - RS232 pair of multiplexers / terminal servers / apparatus?


  Cheers

John
