Greetings!

I recently inquired about using PCs as ethernet to SLIP routers and was
flooded with many helpful and useful responses.  I'd like to thank all of
you who responded.  It looks like PCRoute is the program to use, although
Karn's KA9Q package wasn't too bad either.

Now, since it seems PCs can do almost anything, does anyone know if there
is a software package that will make a PC into a terminal server.  You
know, like one of those $1500 Bridge Communication Terminal Servers that
have a built-in floopy drive for logging and upload.  They have about
8 - 9.6Kb serial ports on the back.

If a beast like this doesn't exist, would it be easy enough to hack the
KA9Q package to do something like this?

Thanks in advance,
Cliff
