Terminal Servers

Taking a look at terminal servers for my homelab — terminal servers let you hook up multiple serial devices to one central access hub. We'll start with the MRV Secure Console Server I've been using for about a year, then build out a Cisco 2509 terminal server with an octopus cable. We'll also experiment with hooking up a modem to Cisco AUX ports.
