I have about 20 WYSE 325 dumb Terminals, but the place I got them from 
kept the server. Can I build a stock 486/66 with about 16 megs of ram to 
support these using FreeBSD and 2 or 3 8 Port serial boards? I just need 
them for light games and text mode apps.
How many can I run off of one box? And how much HD will I need? About 1 

gig? Also, I need a source for the serial boards. 

If someone can answer some or all of my questions I would be much 
grateful. I'm used to DOS/WIN and a little BSD, but I haven't done 
something like this. Thanks again for any help.

Joe
