I am interested in building a UNIX system that will be able to
handle many (around 80) tty interfaces for process control.  The
data on these lines is of very low volume.  I would like to use
something like a 3B2, but it can not handle this many ports
directly.

One choice is to get some sort of a PAD sitting on a LAN (e.g. 3BNet)
or X.25 and hang all the tty ports on it.  Does anyone know such a product?

Any other suggestions are appreciated!

Thanx,

Mitch Germansky
