One other thing. The Cisco 3660 can support 164 console ports with 5 of the 4x8async NMs. Needs octopus cables, but with that kind of density a patch-panel cross-connect system would be required (unless you are building out 1-RU devices). Supports all the nice Cisco features, but will cost you... chris

I would like to deploy a terminal server in several of my POPs, however cost is a slight issue. Can anyone on the list recommend a fairly inexpensive terminal server (besides Cisco)? Obviously the terminal server should be reliable and work - it is the little things that count.
