Some RS232 questions: (I apologize if they head the list of Top-Ten
Entry-Level Sparcstation Questions.) I need to attach eight 9600 baud
VT-100 clones to one of our two networked Sparcstations for low-volume
data-entry in our electrically noisy old museum. Price matters, but I'd
rather have a low-maintenance, OS-revision-robust product than an absolute
minimum price.
1. What eight-or-more-port TCP/IP async terminal servers have a good
reputation among the Sun user community?
2. What about SCSI-to-RS232 interfaces? As an example, Uninet's SL-81-1
maps one SCSI address to 8 async ports and a single Centronics parallel
port, and is said to work with Sparcstations.
3. Is there a S-Bus to RS232x8 interface or some other solution that I've
missed?
Please respond by email, and I will summarize replies by email or for the
net if there is interest.
Thanks,
Ken Rice
