I am looking for names and manufacturers of a device that will do the
following function for me. I think this fucntion may be done by a terminal
server, but I look at it as a router.

I have several remote hosts that can talk SLIP. I want to bring those SLIP
connections into one place, via RS-232 or equivalent, and be able to
converse with a device which does not support multiple SLIP interfaces, but
which does support TCP/IP via an Ethernet interface. So I envision a device
with SLIP interface ports on one side and Ethernet on the other. It should
be able to bridge/route (?) between the SLIP devices and Ethernet device.

Please send replies to me directly.  fstop@mtunf.att.com

Thanks.
