I > Greg German (german@uxc.CSO.UIUC.EDU) (217-333-8293) Yes, you can use a terminal server to front for a non-networking host! The general term for this type of device is a "milking machine". As far as I know the two best servers for this type of function are the cisco and bridge products. Which is a better device for you depends on the size of your general networking problem, although, I prefer cisco. Both are able to set up a rotary to alias an ethernet address to a group of ports. cisco: 1 415 326 1941 bridge:1 415 969 4400 have fun....... /S* #incude
