tcp-ip terminal servers

[Ron Natalie]

The two leaders, in my opinion, are ENCORE and CISCO.  They seem to trade
back and forth as to functionality.  The ENCORE probably provides more
user facilities (like the ability to get parts of EMACS in the terminal
servers).  CISCO wins out on the fact that you can put 96 lines in a
single box.  This is handy for large scale central modem banks or bign
terminal rooms (the big box turns out to be much cheaper than several of
the smaller ones).

There are other units available from Bridge, UB, Micom, Xyplex, and Develcon.
These are probably lagging slightly behind the leaders in general niceness
and bang for the buck.
