Date: 20 Aug 1995 21:37:51 -0400 Organization: Internex Online (Data: 363-3783/Telnet: io.org) Lines: 28 Message-ID: <418o1f$rlp@ionews.io.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: nudge.io.org Hello; I am wondering if it will be possible to setup a dedicated 486 running FreeBSD as a Terminal Server. We are looking into getting a multi-port card (most probably a Cyclades) or a DigiBoard. We would prefer going this route since obviously customizing and extending the FreeBSD based Terminal Server will be a lot easier. Over other option is to buy a Portmaster but we'd rather have FreeBSD doing the job of a Terminal Server. Could someone comment on this? Regards, Vaibhav PS. FreeBSD will have to handle the job, radius does under portmaster. i.e accepting SLIP, CSLIP or PPP logins, sending users to other machines on the net if there are already too many users on any particular machine etc. -- -[ Vaibhav Goel ]---[ 3D Animator ]---[ polarix, Inc. ]---------------------- o 3D Animation/PhotoRealistic Rendering/Visualization/Special FX/SGI Consulting o Phone: (416) 754-7310 o Fax: (416) 754-4092 o email: polarix@io.org -[Home Page: http://www.io.org/~polarix ]-[polarix inc. - Toronto, Canada ]--
