I'm looking for recommendations for a terminal server to be used
in reverse to front end a host computer.  I'm interested in a box
with...

  a small number of lines, say about 8.

  one that has static configuration memory.

  one that translates telnet session status to/from
  rs232 signals.  A telnet session ought to cause
  DTR to come up.  A drop of DSR from the host ought 
  to terminate the telnet session.

  one that pools the rs232 under one id so that a telnet
  to the box hunts for an available rs232 port.

Any recommendations or advice welcome.

Thanks,
