With regards to TCP/IP terminal servers, we have lots of the Encore Annex
terminal servers here, and are very pleased with them.  They have a mini
Unix kernel running inside that allows them to use lots of BSD networking
code.  Thus their TCP is 4.3 based, and works quite well.  They have domain
name server support, support for reverse logins (ie milking machine type
of service), full loading and control over the network and all sorts
of good stuff.  They are very flexible and very well integrated into
the IP networking environment.  The people who work on product development
are also very capable and are always looking to add features.  Proteon
OEM's their boxes, so you should be able to get info from Encore (who
is in Mass.) or your local Proteon salesperson...
